What is the name of the island to the left of Australia? Madagascar?
Island to the left of Australia: New Zealand! You are holding your map upside down.
You’re probably thinking of Indonesia, which includes a big chunk of the island of Borneo. It’s northwest of Australia (due north of Western Australia). Madagascar is way over on the opposite side of the Indian Ocean.
There used to be another one there but years ago during a moonless night, towboats without identifying markings hooked it up and towed it away to be never seen again.............strange
