Largest national parks in Oceania

Kakadu, at nearly 20,000 square kilometres, is the largest national park in the catalogue for Oceania, a World Heritage landscape of escarpment, floodplain and rock art half the size of Switzerland and jointly managed with its Aboriginal owners. Fiordland, the largest park in New Zealand, covers the whole south-west corner of the South Island. Victoria's Alpine park, Kahurangi and Mount Aspiring follow.
