The remote Cocos (Keeling) Islands is a territory of
Australia, located in the Indian Ocean, somewhere southwest of ChristmasIsland and approximately midway between Australia and Sri Lanka. The
islands are (partially) named after Captain William Keeling, who in 1609 was
the first European to see the islands.
The Cocos Keeling Islands are a group
of coral islands that form two atolls. Only two of these 27 islands are
inhabited. Today only 600 people live on these islands.
Stamps
Australian stamps can be used on Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
