located about 65 kilometres to the north-west of the Tasmanian mainland
Correction
Flinders Island lies off the north-east coast of mainland Tasmania, not to its north-west.
Full reasoning
This is a geographic error. Authoritative Tasmanian sources place Flinders Island in the Furneaux Group to the north-east of mainland Tasmania (in eastern Bass Strait), not to the north-west. Some sources give the distance from Cape Portland as roughly 54 km, but regardless of the exact distance used, the direction in the article is wrong.
