To follow up the Australia shaped lake in Geelong, the North End pond/pool
in Canberra and the world lake in Denmark, Taman Mini, a
national-integrationist cultural park in Jakarta has as its central feature
a large rectangular pond with the Indonesian archipelago in it.
A plan can be seen on p182 of Robert Cribb's excellent "Historical Atlas of
Indonesia, 2000, Uni Hawaii Press, Honolulu. According to the planb, Danau
Toba and even Pulau Samosir in Danau Toba are featured, so you have an
island in a lake in an island in a lake in an island!

Which beats the small lake in an island in a lake in an island in NZ.

I wonder if they've dug out the eastern end of Timor, or just erected a
small fence across that island?
