Commentary
Ces îles situées dans l’Océan Indien au Sud-Ouest de Javaont été découvertes par le capitaine William Keeling. En 1825, le captaine écossais John Clunies Ross s’établit durablement sur ces îles qui resteront propriété de la famille jusqu’en 1978. Déclaré territoire de l’Empire Britannique en 1857, l’archipel est transféré à l’Australie en 1955.
