Pulu Keeling National Park is one of the smallest national parks of Australia, yet is a place of international significance. Situated on an isolated coral atoll 2000km northwest of Perth, the park is part of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands - a remote island territory.
The park consists of North Keeling Island, which is just 1.2 square kilometres of land, and a marine area extending 1.5 kilometres from the shore. The clear waters surrounding North Keeling island is home to a stunning array of fish, and dolphins, marine turtles and other marine species.
Pulu Keeling's incredible remoteness has helped maintain its pristine environment and rich biodiversity. The forests and other flora are examples of the original vegetation of the region, and include a number of species found nowhere else in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
Pulu Keeling National Park is a significant seabird rookery and is listed as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.
