Christmas Island, over a thousand kilometres northwest of Australia’s mainland, is a speck of an island that rises out of the Indian Ocean, a tiny refuge to plants and creatures found nowhere else in the world. Birds rule its skies and it’s stunning landscapes are the stage for a miracle migration of millions. Here the infamous Christmas Island Red crab has evolved to life on land and makes a treacherous overland journey to the ocean to breed. Some 80,000 seabirds nest here annually, including the Golden Bosun, Brown Boobies and the Christmas Island Goshawk.
