The Boobyalla Islands (67°15′S 46°34′E / 67.250°S 46.567°E) are two small islands 4 kilometres (2 nmi) northeast of Kirkby Head, Enderby Land. They were plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after the Australian native willow, "Boobyalla" (Acacia longifolia).[1]
