Capital status
National capital of Cocos (Keeling) Islands
West Island is the administrative centre of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian external territory in the eastern Indian Ocean. It is one of only two inhabited islands in the territory, alongside Home Island, and hosts the airport and many public services. Cocos Islands Time (CCT, UTC+6:30) is a rare half-hour offset and is fixed year-round. That unusual offset makes West Island a stronger time-reference page than its small population alone would suggest.
