Not lately. More tourism lately but it has been an immigration detention centre and more recently quarantine. The runway is used for military flights as well. The red crab run is quite spectacular. Christmas, Cocos and Keeling islands have an interesting history.
Thank You
I have not heard of Cocos nor Keeling before
And YES the Red Crab run is really a sight to see ..LOL.. At least in the pics i have seen!!
I also want to see Hugh's Dale waterfall!! Maybe stand under it with a scotch in hand!!!
