~COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS ~

...Breathtaking view...received lots of "tropical paradise looking" postcards over the years but this  must be one of the most stunning...Thanks a million David!! (check out his fantastic blog, I think you can even see a pic where he bought this card...♥)

The Territory of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, also called Cocos Islands and Keeling Islands, is a territory of Australia, located in the Indian Ocean, southwest of Christmas Island and approximately midway between Australia and Sri Lanka.

The territory consists of two atolls and 27 coral islands, of which two, West Island and Home Island, are inhabited with a total population of approximately 600.
