Cocos Islands 60c
The Cocos and Keeling Islands is an archipelago of 27 coral islands. The archipelago lies West of Australia and South East of Sumatra, in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
The archipelago is a dependency of Australia and produces its own stamps.
The islands are a tropical travellers dream they are isolated, coral atolls covered in lush with coconut palms and other flora. In fact coconuts are the islands only cash crop other essentials being produced by the islanders gardens and by fishing.
Captain William Keeling discovered the islands in 1609, but they remained uninhabited until the 19th century. They were annexed by the UK in 1857, they were transferred to the Australian Government in 1955.
They are on my bucket list and that is probably where they will stay:(
