Located on the western side of Admiralty Gulf and a part of the Bonaparte Archipelago, the island encompasses an area of {{convert|2361|ha|acre|0}}.[1] It is part of the Osborn Island group which includes, South West Osborn, Borda, Carlia, Steep Head and Kidney Island as well as West, North and Centre Rock. The island is a volcanic plug.[2] The traditional owners of the area are the Uunguu peoples of the Wunambal language group whose name for the island is Ngurraali.[3] The group was named in 1891 by Phillip Parker King after John Osborn, one of the Lords of the Admiralty.[1] The air-breathing land snails, Kimberleymelon tealei and Carinotrachia admirale are both endemic to the island.[4] In 2008 a boat carrying refugees that had travelled via Indonesia arrived at the island. The then immigration minister, Chris Bowen was attacked by the opposition over his "porous border protection policies".[5] Another boat arrived in 2010 with only two passengers and one crew on board.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://conservation.wa.gov.au/media/8919/final%20version_14april2010.pdf|title=Status Performance Assessment: Biodiversity conservation of Western Australian Islands|date=1 April 2010|accessdate=10 August 2014|publisher=Government of Western Australia}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/pdf/science/bio_audit/north_kimberley01_p497-505.pdf |title=North Kimberley 1 - (NK-1) Mitchell Bioregion |author=Gordon Graham |date=1 August 2001 |accessdate=10 August 2014 |publisher=Department of Environment |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080730164311/http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/pdf/science/bio_audit/north_kimberley01_p497-505.pdf |archivedate=30 July 2008 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://museum.wa.gov.au/sites/default/files/WAM_Supp81_Internals%20pp145-181.pdf|title=Biodiversity values on selected Kimberley Islands, Australia|author=T.
