Abstract
In November 1914, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands played host to Australia’s ‘first victory’ of World War I – the battle of the HMAS Sydney and the SMS Emden. A hundred years after the fact, the descendents of the sailors who fought returned to share in a legacy of valour and compassion, often overlooked in this remote tropical ‘paradise’. In a beautiful multimedia essay, journalist and writer BEN STUBBS combines images and words to convey the experience of this remote anniversary.
