Smallest national parks in Oceania
Australia has hundreds of very small national parks, because the states use the title for any significant patch of bush, and several are in the catalogue: Green Island, a twelve-hectare coral cay; Mapleton Falls, a single lookout; the headlands and islands of Sydney Harbour; the crater of Tower Hill; the Naracoorte fossil caves; and the two crater lakes of the Atherton Tableland. Each is a stop of an hour or two.
