In August 2001, the arrival of the Tampa and its refugee cargo pushed a small Scotty dog-shaped island into the limelight. This relatively unknown Australian territory became a name on everyone's lips as the political and social debate raged around this dot in the Indian Ocean.Julietta Jameson, like many of us, was intrigued by Christmas Island, and wondered where it was and how it came into being. Curious, she booked a flight and travelled to this tiny island, 2600km north-west of Perth and 360km south-west of Java, determined to find out more about the island and its people. She stayed for three months.What she found was an amazing tropical island paradise, surrounded by rugged coastline, turquoise blue waters and breathtaking rainforests. A naturalist's dream, Christmas Island is a National Park sanctuary filled with endangered frigate and migratory birds and the infamous Red Crabs that migrate across the island like a real life Red Sea.Set against this beautiful backdrop of nature and wildlife, Julietta also discovered an island with an amazing cultural history and was welcomed into a vibrant tightly knit community of Muslims, Chinese, Malays, Europeans and Australian mainlanders.

"Christmas Island is a small territory of Australia located in the Indian Ocean. It is home to three main ethnic groups, the smallest of which are European Australians. Christmas Island is also where those who arrive "illegally" to seek asylum in Australia are accommodated. Christmas Island has played a key role in Australian security, located as it is at the northern extremity of Australian territory; much closer to Indonesia than to the nation to which it belongs, and from whose territory it has recently been excised for migration purposes." "This anthropological exploration - the very first one ever undertaken of this strategically important island - focuses closely on the sensual engagements people have with place, shows how Christmas Islanders make recourse to the animals, birds and topographic features of the island to create uniquely islandic ways of being at home - and ways of creating "others" who will never belong - under volatile political circumstances."--BOOK JACKET.

Christmas Island is an Australian external territory located in the Indian Ocean, approximately 360 kilometers south of Java and 2,600 kilometers northwest of Perth. It is only 135 square kilometers in size, making it one of the smallest territories in Australia. The island is famous worldwide for its spectacular annual red crab migration where millions of red crabs march from the forest to the sea to spawn. The island was discovered by the British in 1643 and named after the day of its discovery, which was Christmas Day. In 1958, the island was transferred to Australia, and today it is an Australian territory with a mixed population of mainly Chinese, Australian, and Malay. The island is known for its rich natural diversity and cultural heritage. It is home to an incredible array of flora and fauna, including over a hundred bird species, several endangered species such as the Golden Bosun (an endemic bird), and several types of crabs unique to the island. The island's distinct culture is a blend of Asian and Australian influences, with its primary language being English, but dialects such as Chinese Malay and Indian dialects are also spoken. Visitors to Christmas Island have the opportunity to experience its unique culture and outstanding natural beauty, making it an increasingly popular tourist destination.

The book provides a pre-settlement historical account of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island in their Indian Ocean context. The project began as a search for clues to locations of two 18th century Dutch shipwrecks, and was expanded into a general account of the early island histories and associated mythological Indian Ocean islands and creatures.
