Australian Traveller

The best seven days of your life

THIS YEAR’S inaugural INDIAN OCEAN FEST has been designed to celebrate Christmas Island, 63 per cent of which is made up of national park. The pilot program, to be held from 21 to 28 June, will celebrate the CHRISTMAS ISLAND MARINE PARK (proclamation pending), which means there is even more protected wonderland to explore. The exclusive event is aimed at just 30 travellers who have an interest in exploring the island’s colourful aquatic, wilderness and cultural elements.
