Ebook: Misadventures in Nature's Paradise: Australia’s Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island during the Dutch Era

The book provides a pre-settlement historical account of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island in their Indian Ocean context. The project began as a search for clues to locations of two 18th century Dutch shipwrecks, and was expanded into a general account of the early island histories and associated mythological Indian Ocean islands and creatures.
