The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are a tropical paradise, a part of the Indian Ocean territories off the coast of Western Australia. Many of us who don't live on the coral atolls will never see the 27 tiny islands... Or experience the powdery white sand, coconut trees, crystal clear waters where you can swim with turtles. But for Rania, who lives on Home Island, sometimes the paradise can also feel an ocean away. | Heywire 🎥 Chris Lewis | ABC Australia
