One island in  this nation is a rare home for the quokka due to the lack of introduced predators, and that island had been uninhabited for several thousand years prior to its "discovery" due to retrogression in boat technology. Another island in this nation is home to tall, straight-growing namesake pine trees, which were at one time promising as a remote alternative to Baltic spars until it was discovered that although they are resilient to wind when growing, they deteriorate rapidly on felling. In addition to the aforementioned Rottnest and Norfolk Islands, the Derwent River is found on another island in this country since its landscape resembled the Lake District, at least at the time of discovery, and the last "full-blooded" Palawa native of that island died in 1876. For 10 points, that island in this country was first named for Anthony van Diemen and is now called Tasmania.
