Australian national parks



The first laws to protect the country\'s scenic areas were passed in Tasmania in 1863. In 1879, the Royal National Park was established south of Sydney - Australia\'s first, and the world\'s second national park.
Since then, about 3200 national parks have been created in Australia and Tasmania, covering more than 40 million hectares land - 5.3 percent of the Australian land mass.
