About 5 years ago the government excised 3,000 islands from the Australian immigration zone. The intention of the law was to remove all of them, so thats probably a good starting figure.
Some of those islands, e.g. Christmas Island, are quite far from the mainland, and many of them are quite small.

Thousands. How far out do you want to go?
