Christmas Island - The Dales and Hugh's Waterfall

Christmas Island, Territory of Australia, Indian Ocean
The Dales and Hugh's Waterfall
Robber Crab and Blue Crab

The Dales:
The Dales are located on the west coast and are one of the few areas on the island having permanent flowing water and permanent wet areas.
Permanent water provides a habitat for Blue crabs and there are populations readily observable.
There are two marked trails one leading to Hugh Waterfall and the other to Anderson's Dale where access maybe made to the shoreline.

Hugh's Waterfall:
To get to the fall, follow a medium walk (some uphill) with a boardwalk for most of the way, with interpretive signage offering information on the flora and fauna of the Island.
It is well worth it to be greeted by the cool waters of Hugh’s waterfall at the end.
