From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1941 actor and playwrite Sir Noel Coward was traped on the Island for sixteen days and apprently loved every second of it. He was on route to the west coast when a monsoons struck. He said from the air the Island looked like a Cartier bracelet. Two years latter he wrote a book about the Island and the couple that ran the radio station the book is called Mr and Mrs Fleming. The Island is now deserted the hotel and radio station plus a flying clipper are in mothballs wating for us all to rediscover them anyone intrested? regards timhughes@bigpond.com LOOK FARWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

[edit] A small stroke that is "folded"

I have removed the following from the article as it doesn't make sense to me at all. The <small> tags were in the article as well. If someone can make sense of it please reword it and add it back in if it deserves it.

(it is a small stroke that is "folded", if it was totally right, you have to ride 33 km and you have seen the whole island)

[edit] Village - Kanton or "Pyramid Point" or "Tebaronga Village"?

What's the name of the village where the 41 people (census of 2005) live in, and where is it located? The census list of villages only lists "Kanton", perhaps since there is only one village on the island. Some sources talk about "Pyramid Point" at the southeast corner of the atoll (the German wikipedia article [1]), and there is a DX postcard on page [2] that talks about "Tebaronga Village". Are those different names of the same village, or are they historic names of different villages?Ratzer 18:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
