Today’s episode we are jetting back over off the West Coast of Australia to a little island group called the Cocos Keeling Islands. Some of you may have heard of it before, but what I’m finding is that most haven’t even heard of it, let alone know where it is.

So here we are – shining a spotlight on some of the hidden gems in our own backyard and today, with the lovely assistance from Linda Cash at Indian Ocean Experiences joining us back on the show – she paints a beautiful picture of the experiences awaiting you.
