CIPS is a natural gas-fired station, with diesel fuel back-up capability.
The Channel Island Reef is significant for its diverse coral. Both the leprosarium and the reefs are Heritage Listed sites.

Literally nothing here. We thought it would be scenic and would at least see some crocs but literally nothing to see at all. Not worth the drive
