Egg Lagoon is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of King Island in the North-west and west LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about north of the town of Currie. The 2016 census recorded a population of 24 for the state suburb of Egg Lagoon.[1]
Egg Lagoon was gazetted as a locality in 1971. The name is believed to come from the finding of a large number of goose eggs in the area.[2]
The waters of the Southern Ocean form the western boundary, and those of Bass Strait the eastern.
Route B25 (North Road) runs through from south to north.[2] [3]
