23.01.2022 Once upon a time.... The CI Club was the place to go Now defunct !!

23.01.2022 Well it’s not hard to work out how these birds got their name. The red-footed Booby are the worlds smallest boobies (but still a large seabird with wingspan up ...to 1.4m.) They naively share nesting trees with frigatebirds who will sometimes eat young Red-footed Boobies and also steal food from adult boobies returning to the island with crops full of fish. There are about 12,000 resident pairs on Christmas Island and can be seen in trees near Ethel Beach. See more

19.01.2022 Legend has it that a century ago, a dragon swam all the way from China before reaching Christmas Island. Lost and exhausted he hears the inhabitants speaking Ch...inese so tired to get ashore but was unable to swim past the waves and cliffs. Eventually he made his way into the grotto and now sits above the entrance to the cave and greets visitors with a roar of welcome! It’s a beautiful story for a beautiful cave swim, made all the more special in the afternoon light.

11.01.2022 It's common to come accross turtle tracks on Dolly Beach, but rarely do we come accross a turtle! This voluptuous green turtle probably came ashore to lay eggs ...in the evening and missed the high tide needed to get back out to sea. She'll wait in the rock pools until the next high tide. The green turtle is one of the largest sea turtles and the only herbivore among the different species. Green turtles are in fact named for the greenish color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells. Like other sea turtles, they migrate long distances between feeding grounds and the beaches from where they hatched. Classified as endangered, green turtles are threatened by overharvesting of their eggs, hunting of adults, being caught in fishing gear and loss of nesting beach sites.
