Australia has always been on my list of places I want to visit. What better week to feature this glorious unpretentious Island than this week? I never really new much about Island until I started reading about it for this post.
Christmas Island is a dot in the Indian Ocean, located 2600km north-west of Perth, Western Australia. Even though it is an Australian Territory, its closest neighbor is Java, 360km away.
The island is mostly comprised of a national forest and there is not much in the way of commercialism.. It is known for it's beautiful Red Crab.This particular species, is the only species in the world and exists only on Christmas Island. It is a surfers dream come true to surf the waters here, and the bone fishing is fantastic.!Bird lover?, there are bird watching tours with so many beautiful birds to see in the forest. The island offers a little bit of something for everyone. From flat bottom boat tours to snorkeling to hiking. To learn more about the island and the culture go toChristmas Island.
This will be my last post until after the new year, so I may enjoy this time with my family and friends. Until then, I am wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and and Happy New Year!
