Untold Stories

Christmas Island Coconut tree

Let me tell you our island born story

Would you believe if we tell you we were born on Christmas Island from the 1900s to 1990s in a community filled with harmonious inter-culturalism  engaged deeply in fishing, diving, catching crabs and eating bats?

Our ancestors were from Malaysia, China, Singapore and Cocos Island. The island has been a territory of Australia since 1958, we provided invaluable service to Australia  to mine phosphate enabling Australian and New Zealand farmers to grow crops to feed the nation. Despite enduring extreme hardship after resettled in regional towns in the 1970s, our labour and economic contributions helped Western Australia prosper in countless ways.

We have our own music and cultural band that came from the island.

We hope by exploring our website you will discover our WA community living in Katanning, Port Hedland, Geraldton and Perth metro. We hope to see you in our regional towns.

We are on a mission to recreate the same culture on the island after years of silence.
