Australia National Parks
A rich tapestry of parks and reserves covers Australia from the southern tip
of
Tasmania
to the northern tip of Cape York and from the Great Dividing Range
in the east to the far western extremity of
Western Australia.
Alpine meadows in the high country of
New South Wales
and
Victoria; towering
gums in the southwest of
Western Australia; rich verdant rainforests in
Queensland; impenetrable temperate forests and untouched rivers in
Tasmania, the
floodplains and escarpments of the
Northern Territory
and the untracked desert
country and outback mountain ranges in
South Australia, all offer a safe,
vibrant habitat for our unique flora and fauna. They are also places where we,
as part of nature, can seek solace, enjoyment and adventure.
Australia is fortunate in that it has the landmass and the lack of population
pressure to incorporate much of its natural treasures in parks and reserves of
significant size. In the last 20 years, with a growing awareness of our natural
heritage, each state and territory has increased vastly the amount of land
protected in national parks and reserves and many of those parks are in excess
of one million hectares. A number are bigger than some European countries! Even
so, there are some anomalies and no standard is followed by the states in what
constitutes a national park, a conservation park, a state park, or whatever. It
is a little confusing!
