driving side#Q408 For the island in Costa Rica, see . The [Cocos (Keeling) Islands](http://www.cocoskeelingislands.com.au/) (Cocos Malay: Pulu Kokos (Keeling), Wilayah Kepulauan Cocos (Keeling)) or simply Cocos Islands or Keeling Islands are a chain of islands in two adjacent atolls, in the middle of the some 2,750 km northwest of , and around 900 km west-southwest of . The islands are generally considered to be the southernmost point of Asia. ## Understand The Cocos Islands lie approximately 12° south and 96.5° east, locating the islands in the humid tropical zone. The Cocos Islands are 1.5 hours behind Western Australia Time and 3.5 hours behind Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) on standard time; they do not observe daylight saving time. The islands are remote – they're closer to , , , or than they are to Canberra. History There are 27 coral islands in the group. Captain William Keeling discovered the islands in 1609, but they remained uninhabited until the 19th century. Annexed by the UK in 1857, the archipelago was administered from Ceylon and then later the Colony of Singapore before the territory was transferred to the Australian Government from the Colony of Singapore in 1955. The population on the two inhabited islands generally is split between the ethnic Europeans on West Island and the ethnic Malays on Home Island although the Malay population is significantly larger than the European. Grown throughout the islands, coconuts are the sole cash crop. Small local gardens and fishing contribute to the food supply, but additional food and most other necessities must be imported from Australia. There is a small tourist industry. The people who live on the Cocos Islands are mostly the ethnic Cocos Malay people, whose ancestors were from either Peninsular Malaysia, Indonesia, parts of Southern Africa or New Guinea and were brought over as slaves or convicts. Since 2019, they have been seeking approval for "Indigenous Status". Orientation There are two inhabited islands in the group, West Island and Home Island. West Island is the capital of the territory with about 120 inhabitants. It is mostly an English-speaking area with the most tourist facilities, a clinic and an airstrip. The largest village is Bantam on Home Island with a population of around 448 (2021), most of whom follow Sunni Islam and speak the Cocos dialect of the . The other islands in the archipelago are uninhabited. Horsburgh Island and South Island are among the larger uninhabited islands. Direction Island, a true island paradise, is connected by ferry every Saturday. It includes a beach that's been identified as the best beach in Australia. Finally, there's , a national park approximately 50 km north of the other islands. Access to this island is only allowed with permission from Parks Australia. Climate The Cocos Islands experience two main seasons which tend to overlap: the trade wind season from April/May to September/October and the calmer doldrum season from November through to April. Expect higher rainfall during March through to July. January through to August may also generate the occasional low pressure system (usually between February and April). However these systems do not normally interfere with holiday plans. Rain usually falls in the evenings, bringing glorious sunny days. The average annual rainfall is 2,000 mm. Temperatures are fairly consistent no matter what the season, remaining around a comfortable 29°C with a minimum evening temperature rarely dropping below 20°C. Landscape Flat, low-lying coral atolls, thickly covered with coconut palms and other vegetation.

Bring the needed documentation. By plane There is an airport on West Island. [Virgin Australia](https://www.virginaustralia.com/) has two scheduled triangle flights weekly between , and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Flights between Perth and the Islands may include a technical stop at RAAF Learmonth (LEA) en route to refuel. Clockwise service operates on Saturdays and anticlockwise service operates on Tuesdays. One-way flights range in price from $531 to $909, with advance purchase returns available for $1054.

Bring required documents. Because of their remoteness and infrequency of boats, all arriving yachts must send a notice to Customs at latest four days (96 hr) before arrival, radio police (VHF channel 20) when arriving, drop anchor at the anchorage at Direction Island, display the yellow 'quarantine' flag, radio again, and await the police. See the [required procedures](https://www.cocoskeelingislands.com.au/sailing-cocos). ## Get around A local bus service from West Island Settlement to the jetty operates approximately 20 minutes prior to the departure of the ferry to Home Island and costs $0.50. The best place to catch the bus is in fact not the designated bus stop on Sydney Highway opposite the airport, as the bus doesn't always go by there. Instead, follow airport employees to the park just north of the terminal at the far end of Alexander Street, and wait on the bench in the shaded area. On Saturday the ferry diverts to Direction Island to allow tourists and locals access to this remote paradise. The ferry returns in the afternoon to return you to West Island. The fee is $2.50. Timetables are available from the Tourism office or the Duty Free Shop.

However, almost all the locals (other than some elderly people) can speak English, enough for communication, and most people on the West Island are English-speaking. ## See Take cultural tours with some of the local tour operators or guide yourself around the islands to explore why they call the Cocos Islands a "nature and water lover's paradise". During the year, as well as the traditional events such as Easter, New Year, Christmas, the Cocos host a number of unique events. These include the annual Lagoon swim, where competitors swim from Home Island across the lagoon to West Island. Individuals or teams may enter and whether you are a serious contender or wish to join in with the Hash House Harriers (who always seem to get themselves disqualified for one thing or another), everyone has a load of fun. It finishes in the evening with dinner and presentations to the winners and boat drivers. Other unique events are the mid-year Cocos Ball, quiz nights, Music & Wine festival, Ardmona Cup and Cocos Olympics. All visitors are encouraged to join in with these festivities and activities. Dates vary from year to year. Please check with the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Tourism Association before booking for events. Visitors to the island are also welcome to participate in the School Fete, Sports Carnival and concert events.

When inclement weather happens, staying inside is your safest bet. ## Stay healthy Fresh water resources are limited to rainwater accumulations in natural underground reservoirs. ## Respect Respect , although unlike in some other countries, the locals won't really mind you eating in public. When visiting Home Island, make sure to dress appropriately with your shoulders and knees covered, but also don't overdo it – make sure you're comfortable, as the tropical sun can burn you out. It's also customary to seek permission before photographing the locals. You also cannot enter the Home Island Mosque without being accompanied by a Muslim. ## Connect .cc top-level domain During the 1990s when most countries and territories were assigned a top-level domain, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands were assigned to .cc domain, but the domain was later purchased by a US company. Not long after, the ".cc" domain was used by spammers who wanted to purchase a domain for a bargain. It got to the point where Google blocked thousands of sites that had the ".cc" domain. While there have been calls for the Australian government to purchase the domain, the ".cc" domain remains out of the territory's control as of 2022. What top-level domain do the Islanders use? Well, as the islands are an Australian territory, they mostly use the ".au" domain as does Australia. Contrary to ".nf" used by Norfolk Island or ".cx" used by Christmas Island, you are unlikely to ever encounter a ".cc" top-level domain — only a few islanders use it. In fact, the only government page that uses it is the [Shire of Cocos Keeling Islands](https://shire.cc/ms/). If you do happen to come across one, think twice before you click on it. It will mostly likely be a spam page. Mobile phone connections are by a satellite link. Unless you bring your own satellite phone or long-range radio, you need to use the local rather expensive Wi-Fi. Most modern mobile phones allow you to use by a simple settling, given your provider offers VoIP service for you. You could also install your own app. Mobile phones are available for hire. You might want to turn off updates and any non-necessary traffic during your stay. Because of the hassle and expensive price, you might want to just go offline. Cellphones for hire and Wi-Fi vouchers are available from the [Community Resource Centre](http://www.cocos.crc.net.au/services.html). The Wi-Fi vouchers costs $6.95 per hour, $19.95 per day, or $64.95 per week (check limits on data volumes), or $10/1GB or $25/5GB valid for a fortnight. These can be used at hotspots islands-wide. Mobile phone for-hire are $10/day, $35/week, $60/2 weeks or $100/month. It is wise to pre-book your phone or voucher by emailing the community centre at [cocosislands@crc.net.au](mailto:cocosislands@crc.net.au), so that you can retrieve them at your accommodation in case of a flight delay, instead of waiting for next office hours. ## Go next The only flight out from Cocos is to , where the plane refuels for its continuing trip to in mainland Australia Daring yachties would venture out further into the , possibly crossing into or hopping on to neighbouring .
