Pigeon Island (Wāwāhi Waka) is located in at the northern end of Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand near the township of Glenorchy. It is 170 hectares in size and is the largest island in the lake. In 1884, during Queen Victoria's reign, it was gifted by the Crown as a reserve to the people of Queenstown district for their use and enjoyment.
There are several walking tracks around the island which makes it easy to navigate to most parts of the island.
Because its proximity to the lake creates a mild climate it is the only place in the Wakatipu Basin in which naturally occurring Kahikatea can be found.
As well as kahikatea (white pine) other native tree species include: miro, matai, rata, mistletoe and red beech.
Restoration
The Wakatipu Islands Reforestation Trust was set up in 1999 to replant native trees on the Lake Wakatipu Islands concentrating on Pigeon Island mainly. Many volunteers have made the trip to the island since this time to replant trees such as rimu, kahikatea and beech. The aim is to restore the islands to their natural state without introduced predators such as stoats and rats, including the reintroduction of bird and insects, the most successful so far being the buff weka translocation programme.
Pigeon Island is a small island located need the middle of the Wallabi Group of the Houtman Abrolhos, an archipelago off the coast of Western Australia. It is almost entirely given over to western rock lobster fishers' camps, and as a result is far more disturbed than most other islands in the archipelago. A nearby island also seasonally populated by fishers is named Little Pigeon Island, hence Pigeon Island is sometimes referred to as "Big Pigeon Island".
History
The geographic location of Pigeon Island suggests that it might have been visited by survivors of the 1629 Bataviashipwreck, but there is no surviving evidence of this, either documentary or archaeological. It was mined for guano in the 20th century.
Geography
Pigeon Island is roughly triangular in shape, with a short side on the south west, and two long sides coming together at a point in the north east. The island is covered with infrastructure, with a high density of huts covering the entire island, right down to the water line; in total there are 54 camps, a school and a pub. There are also around 20 jetties, mainly along the northwest side, as this is the only direction from which the island may be approached by boat. The island is surrounded by reef to the south and east, but a passage known as Pigeon Island Anchorage runs along the northwest side.

Two tiny islands north of Trincomalee off the east coast make up Pigeon Island National Park. The Blue Rock Pigeon, a local, threatened species that inhabits the rocks of these islands, gave the island its name. In order to safeguard these birds, the islands were designated as a sanctuary in 1963. The region was given national park status in 2003, and the coral reefs surrounding it were added to the park's limits. The Eastern Province seaside town of Nilaveli is located 1 km from the shore of the national park, which has a total land size of 471.429 hectares.

Pigeon island national park gives satisfaction of diving and joy of watching pleasant coral reefs and amazing creatures.
Two tiny islands north of Trincomalee off the east coast make up Pigeon Island National Park. The Blue Rock Pigeon, a local, threatened species that inhabits the rocks of these islands, gave the island its name. In order to safeguard these birds, the islands were designated as a sanctuary in 1963. The region was given national park status in 2003, and the coral reefs surrounding it were added to the park's limits. The Eastern Province seaside town of Nilaveli is located 1 km from the shore of the national park, which has a total land size of 471.429 hectares.
Trincomalee was a highly valuable natural harbor during the colonial era, treasured by all of the colonial overlords. Despite being barely 20 kilometers from the harbor, the colonizers exploited this island as a firing range. The Hikkaduwa Corel Reefs National Park and Pigeon Island National Park are both Sri Lanka's only marine national parks.
