| Tlo historyczne | There are 27 coral islands w the group. Captain William KEELING discovered the islands w 1609, but they remained uninhabited until the 19th century. From the 1820s to 1978, members of the CLUNIE-ROSS family controlled the islands and the copra produced from local coconuts. Annexed by the UK w 1857, the Cocos Islands were transferred to the Australian Government w 1955. The population on the two inhabited islands generally is split between the ethnic Europeans on West Island and the ethnic Malays on Home Island. |
