The Cocos (Keeling) Islands is a little known Australian Territory and perhaps one of the best kept holiday destination secrets. It truly is a "Jewel of the Indian Ocean".

Grown throughout the islands, coconuts  are the sole cash crop. Copra and fresh coconuts are the major export earners. 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 but growing tourist industry.
