Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are located 1,500 kilometres off the coast of Western Australia in the Indian Ocean. Christmas Island is renowned for its diverse ecosystems and the spectacular annual red crab migration. Its stunning landscapes feature dense rainforests, rugged coastlines, and pristine beaches, home to a variety of wildlife. In contrast, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands consist of two atolls and 27 coral islands, celebrated for their turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, perfect for snorkelling, diving, and marine exploration. Specialist guides, particularly in bird research, enhance visitors' experiences by connecting them with the island's unique flora and fauna. A notable guide, Tim Low, AM, will lead the departure. A biologist and best-selling author, Tim's work includes the acclaimed "Where Song Began" which won the Australian Book Industry Award for Best General Non-Fiction. He has contributed numerous articles to Australian Geographic and discovered a small lizard named after him. With extensive experience visiting Christmas Island, Tim is an expert in its natural wonders, promising an enriching experience for participants.
