[edit] Data into table form using NPWS summary page?

The NSW NPWS has a page summarising area and date of establishment at http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/parks.nsf/WebContentByLetter?OpenView&Letter=All&Count=2000

I was thinking of producing a table similar in format to the List of Australian Aboriginal tribes as follows (for example, the beginning of the Central NSW National Parks section):

Central NSW

Park name	Area (hectares):	Date of establishment:	IUCN category:	Park's web page
Abercrombie River National Park	19,000 hectares	created 22/12/95	II	NPWS park page
Belford National Park	294 hectares	created 01/01/2003	II	NPWS park page
Cataract National Park	1,504 hectares	created 01/01/2003	II	NPWS park page
Cocoparra National Park	8,358 hectares	created 03/12/69	II	NPWS park page

Return to top of page

etc ...

I think hectares should be used exclusively in the table as some reserves are small in area, and that is the Australian usual way of representing area, as well as the way the NPWS has represented it.
