Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five years after first living in the Indian Ocean Territories, Reneé Pettitt-Schipp finds herself returning, haunted by memories of the asylum seekers she taught there in Australia' s detention system. Why do the islands still have a hold on her? Why are her memories such troubled ones? And why can she not let go?Closer to Indonesia than Australia, Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands are out of sight and out of mind to most Australians, but they are the sites of some of our frontier wars, the places where our identity is laid bare in all its flawed complexity &– and the places where there is time and space enough to ask: can we be better than this?A travel narrative, a memoir and a thought-provoking look at Australia' s complicated history with Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands and the asylum seekers detained there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas Island History, Travel and Tourism. Environmental Information, A Book on Christmas Island, Even though 63 per cent of Christmas Island's 135 square kilometres is protected as a National Park most people only know Christmas Island as a place for people seeking asylum. Few people know it as a place of natural beauty, where a unique ecosystem of plants and animals has developed over millions of years. Today Christmas Island has a laid back atmosphere that has come from many cultures blending together harmoniously. Since its discovery the island has had an interesting history. The first written record of the existence of the Island was made in 1615. Captain William Mynors of the Royal Mary passed the Island and named it on Christmas day 25 December 1643.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a tiny land in the Indian Ocean, populated with c. 2000 residents, where, with the start of rainy season all the crabs are steadily heading the ocean to dive and lay eggs. The journey takes nearly a week, and is perilous. Afterwards, the male and female crabs mate. The male then returns to the forest, and the female waits for the moon and tide to be just right so she can lay eggs in the ocean. The female crab returns to the rainforest and the eggs immediately hatch. Those that are not eaten by fish grow for one month in the ocean, and then instinctively head the forest. Such a brilliant display of the crustaceans' keen sense in the earth's magnetic field! Yet, this mysterious land has more amazing events and sights to offer for the scientists, explorers, and eco-tourists. And the name of the land is Christmas Island, baptized after Captain James Cook's visit on Christmas eve (December 24, 1777). Check the content of this surrealistic pourquoi-diary for the information you need to make your unique trip happen.

You’ll discover how to prepare for these new roles and put necessary equipment and arrangements in place before you untie your docklines. This exquisitely detailed guide also helps you master the skills you’ll need to handle a boat at sea with a small crew, including Weather forecasting Passage planning Watchkeeping Heavy-weather sailing Emergency management Midocean repairs Complete with dozens of easy-to-use graphs and tables for quick reference, along with the hard-won wisdom of experienced cruisers, The Voyager’s Handbook is the ultimate resource for anyone who is planning, preparing for, or just dreaming about a great adventure on the high seas.

Download or read book The History of Christmas Island written by Alexander Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Christmas Island. For Travel and Tourism. For centuries, Christmas Island's isolation and rugged coasts provided natural barriers to settlement. British and Dutch navigators first included the island on their charts from the early seventeenth century, and Captain William Mynors of the East India Ship Company vessel, the Royal Mary, named the island when he arrived on Christmas Day, 25th December, 1643. He was unable to land, however, and it was not until 1688, when the English buccaneering ship Cygnet arrived under Captain Swan, that the first recorded landing took place. In his book "New Voyage Round the World" (1699), Dampier, who was second mate or master's mate, recounted how crewmen landed on the west coast (probably at The Dales) and brought back on board large Robber Crabs (Birgus latro) to eat and wood for a pump. This was the first recorded landing on Christmas Island.

Download or read book Christmas Island written by Simone Dennis and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.
