Extractions: Few groups in the world today are as little known or understood as the Cocos Malay inhabitants of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Theirs has been a world sealed off from the outsider by geography, history, politics and language. Few outsiders have lived among them and very little has been recorded of their cultural practices and tradition. This tiny society has been held together for eight generations by its very isolation, shared economic endeavor, strong family loyalty, a deep commitment to Islam and a unique version of the old "Trading Malay" language of the East Indies. Today the cornerstone of Coco Malay society and the focus of each individuals life is the Islamic religion. The Cocos people have been described as Islamic since the first settlement. Throughout the year a large number of ceremonies are held at various houses in the kampong for a wide range of family celebrations. These include : house blessings, welcomes, farewells, boat launchings, remembrances of deceased relatives, circumcisions and other family events. The biggest celebration of the year for the Cocos Malay people is Hari Raya Puasa, the day that marks the end of the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.

Extractions: The first edition of this classification was produced for the 1996 Census. The classification comprises four levels of geographic units in a single hierarchy, the smallest unit being the Census Collection District (CD). CDs aggregate to form Indigenous Locations (ILOCs) which in turn aggregate to form Indigenous Areas (IAREs) which then aggregate to form the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) Regions (AREGs). At each level of the hierarchical structure, the component spatial units collectively cover the whole of geographic Australia without gaps or overlaps.
