Dorre Island is one of three islands that make up the Bernier and Dorre Island Nature Reserve in the Shark Bay World Heritage area in Western Australia.[1][2] The island was named after Peter Dorre, the pilot of a Dutch vessel, the Eendracht, in 1616.[3]

Daisy Bates was given the name Kabbarli (grandmother) at Dorre Island.[6]: 107–114 [7]
