Pulu Keeling National Park
Pulu Keeling National Park is one of Australia's smallest national parks and yet a place of international significance. An isolated coral atoll, it is part of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Australia's most remote island territory lying almost 2000 kilometres northwest of Perth in the Indian Ocean. 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.

History
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands have held a special place in the literature on coral atolls because they represent the only atoll that Charles Darwin visited, and they played a central role in his discussion of his theory of coral reef development.
