Tasmania is currently the largest island in Australia, spanning more than 60,000 square kilometres. Second on the list is nearly 10x smaller, with Melville Island covering around 5,500 square kilometres off the coast of the Northern Territory.
Most of the banks situated in Tasmania are also found on the mainland, such as
