Christmas Island is an external territory of Australia comprising the island of the same name. It is located in the Indian Ocean.
The first European to sight the island was Richard Rowe of the Thomas in 1615. The island was later named on Christmas Day (25 December) 1643 by Captain William Mynors but only settled in the late 19th century. Its geographic isolation and history of minimal human disturbance has led to a high level of endemism among its flora and fauna, which is of interest to scientists and naturalists.

Haha! I am sure we will find more links as we work away around the web! 🙂
