Cocos (Keeling) Islands.jpg, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Map-cards Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Asia, Africa (not to swap) PB281231.jpg, The airport and surf shop. The plane comes to Cocos two times a week, on Monday and Friday. Friday's flight brings the mail, and Monday's flight brings fresh fruit and vegetables from the mainland., Cocos PB281234.jpg, We took the bus out to the ferry, and the ferry to Home Island, which is where the bulk of the Cocos population lives., Cocos PB281265.jpg, There is something incongruously awesome about seeing veiled Muslim women riding about on ATVs., Cocos PB281229.JPG, Cocos is a territory of Australia, and so the police put up standard signs common to any town in the country. The thing is, there's hardly anywhere you could speed here if you wanted to., Cocos P1000523.JPG, We took the late ferry home, after a misunderstanding about what "cafe" means on an island of only 500 people. We had a lovely picnic dinner instead, and know next time to make reservations instead of relying on predictable business hours., Cocos PB281285.JPG, We toured the local school, where each of the classes told us about their activities. They do pretty much the same things that we do in our schools, like wood shop, traditional Scottish dancing, and cooking delicious curry puffs., Cocos PB260939.JPG, That evening we settled in, found the pub, and planned adventures for the next day., Cocos PB301901.JPG, The sign that greets you as you make your way through customs. Cocos is part of Australia, but still counts as an international destination when you leave from Perth., Cocos PB301905.JPG, Here comes the plane to take us away. We had a very nice time on Cocos, but now it was off to Christmas Island, where we would be just in time for the red crab migration!, Cocos PB281267.jpg, There are about 500 residents on Home Island, who are descendants of the Malaysian workers who were brought there to work in the coconut plantations in the early 19th century., Cocos PB301850.JPG, The night heron stayed around a while, and didn't seem too concerned about being photographed., Cocos PB301900.JPG, The Cocos golf course. The white triangular markers designate the boundary of the runway, which the golf course crosses. For obvious reasons, the course is not open for play on days when an airplane is expected., Cocos PB260933.JPG, 100 people live on West Island, the capital of the territory. To find your own private beach on the island requires only finding the beach, which can be at most 2000 feet away (but is usually far less)., Cocos PB281235.jpg, We were given a tour of Home Island by a group of children in the local school. The tour was started as a way to give students a way to practice their English skills while learning about the history of their home and culture., Cocos PB260932.JPG, We arrived just in time for sunset., Cocos PB291805.JPG, We came home to find this Nankeen night heron on our balcony., Cocos IMG_0206.JPG, Cocos (Keeling) Islands PB281232.jpg, Someone had the brilliant foresight to put the only pub inside the cyclone shelter. The chalkboard is used for announcements of upcoming events., Cocos
