Christmas Island Tourism Association - Places of Interest

Here are just a sample of some of the beautiful places to visit on your Christmas Island Adventure. Flying Fish Cove Adjacent to the port area and the main mooring sites, the Flying Fish Cove is located at the base of the Settlement area and is home to the Kampong (Malay for village) and the Mosque. The Cove is suitable for both swimming and snorkelling, although it is advisable to wear reef shoes at all times to protect feet from sharp coral and stone fish. It offers many great shore dives and has some of the best diversity and abundance of tropical fish anywhere. The "Cove" is also a great location to join the locals watching the sun setting and slow down to Christmas Island pace.

Tai Jin House Located just up the hill beyond Flying Fish Cove, this is the original home of the Administrator of the Island - affectionately known locally as "Buck House". The Grotto Track – suitable for 2WD. Cirque de la Symphonie. Orchestras have sometimes unkindly been compared with a three-ring circus.

Cirque de la Symphonie

Well, here’s the chance to realise that simile. Cirque de la Symphonie brings the MSO together with a host of international circus performers, including aerial flyers, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers, balancers, and strongmen. Do not expect the first violins or brass section to down instruments in order to shin up a rope or drop into a safety net (there are health-andsafety limits, after all).

But do expect a dazzling display, inspired by classical masterpieces, as the circus performers bring their acrobatic and illusory skills to new and exciting levels. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen since Wagner’s Ring cycle, and nowhere near as long. Artists Benjamin Northey conductor. Collingwood Children's Farm » Get Involved.
