    Extractions: Christmas Island is one of natures most impressive feats, an island full of natural wonders: from the unique annual red crab migration to rare and unusual birds and glorious deserted beaches where the only footprints in the sand are those made by nesting turtles. With so many endemic species, the island is often referred to as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean. Yet it also displays a curious amalgam of cultures, history and industry, emerging as a place where all these elements create a truly unusual travel experience. You could be graced with the presence of the majestic whale shark. An encounter with one of these gentle giants who often visit any time between November and April is an experience on your scuba diving trip that you don't want to miss! More Scuba Diving info Christmas Island is one of the world’s truly spectacular tropical seabird breeding stations. It’s not just the number and variety of seabirds, or their magnificant splendour, but also their sheer visibility – it is estimated that around 80,000 seabirds nest here annually. More Bird Watching info The annual red crab mass migration to the sea to spawn has been described by ecologists as 'one of the wonders of the natural world' and is Christmas Island's claim to fame amongst naturalists. Nowhere else on earth do crabs occur in these numbers and the spectacle is an experience not to be forgotten.

The Christmas Island Services Corporation, a Commonwealth organisation, became the local government on this date. The Shire provides standard local government type services as well as acts as agent for the Commonwealth in the provision of some services.

The island also supports over 20 land crab species, including an estimated 50 million red crabs who shape and maintain the health of the island's unique rainforests. Consistent rains at Christmas Island have encouraged the red crabs to begin their spectacular migration from the forest to the coast, to breed and release eggs into the sea. The red crabs will be aiming to meet the possible 30 November spawning date. They have lots of time and will move slowly while rain continues. If the rain stops so will the crabs.
