Norfolk Island National Park and Botanic Garden

Norfolk Island also holds important biological significance as its flora and fauna are derived from the chance dispersal of plants and animals over vast distances of ocean. Many species have evolved into unique, or endemic, forms due to isolation from other populations and having different evolutionary pressures.
