context_page_description: The Three Hummock Island, part of the Hunter Island Group, is a 70-square-kilometre granite island, located in the Bass Strait near King Island, lying off the north-west coast of Tasmania, Australia.
  The island is named after its three most prominent hills, North, Middle and South Hummock, the latter being the highest with an elevation of 237 metres above mean sea level. Part of the island is a nature reserve, with the rest a pastoral lease where farming took place from the mid-1800s to at least the mid-1970s. The focus of human settlement on the island is the homestead at Chimney Corner at the westernmost point. There is an automated lighthouse at Cape Rochon in the north-east, as well as roads, three airstrips, fencing and a wharf. Seasonal muttonbirding occurs in March and April.
