Melville and Bathurst Islands, known collectively as the Tiwi Islands, lie 80 kilometres north of Darwin. Dense rainforest, sandy beaches and rock pools combine to create the Tiwi Islands' landscape. The area of both islands combined is 8000 square kilometres and Melville Island is in fact, Australia's second largest (after Tasmania).
