Incredible facts about Barrow Island There is no public access to Barrow Island as it is listed as a Class A Nature Reserve. It is home to 24 species and subspecies found nowhere else on Earth.

US energy giant Chevron was permitted to build its $54 billion Greater Gorgon gas extraction project on the island.
