Fly Island is a tiny uninhabited island in the Great Palm Island group. Along with nine of the other islands within the Palm Islands group, it falls under the local government area of the Aboriginal Shire of Palm Island.{{cite web|url=https://www.ecq.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/3807/PALM-ISLAND-ABORIGINAL.pdf|title=2015 Local Government Boundaries: Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Council|format=map|publisher=Electoral Commission of Queensland| access-date=4 March 2020}}

The island was gazetted as an Aboriginal reserve on 20 September 1941, along with neighbouring small islands, with the intention of extending Palm Island Aboriginal Settlement, but it was never used as such.{{cite web|url=https://www.slq.qld.gov.au/sites/default/files/www.slq.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/82602/missions_and_reserves.pdf|title=Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander missions and reserves in Queensland 1Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander missions and reserves in Queensland|publisher=Queensland Government.
