Christmas Island is in the Indian Ocean Territory of Australia. It's about 360 km south of Jakarta, Indonesia, and a 3 hour 40 minute flight from Perth. Our local population is largely Chinese, followed by Malay. The rest of us fall into the minority. If you enjoy the virtual tour here, you should come and visit. The real thing is always better :-)

how cool is that!
It's sad that so much rubbish is not being disposed of correctly, but it is amazing how some people can turn junk into a piece of art.

I couldn't agree more. I thought it was very inspiring. Simon told me about a similar artwork on Cocos Island where a lady used cut up thongs to make a fish. I hope I see it later this year when I visit.
