Browse property in Phosphate Hill Road

Phosphate Hill Road runs through the island’s modest northern settlements, where housing is typified by the aluminium‑clad, cyclone‑proof homes constructed in the 1970s for the community known as Silver City. The streetscape is framed by steep coastal cliffs that rise abruptly from the sea, leading to the central plateau that dominates much of Christmas Island’s terrain. The layout reflects the island’s historic reliance on phosphate mining, with modest residential blocks set amid a largely natural landscape that remains 63 % protected as national parkland.

Transport links to the road are anchored by the island’s air and sea gateways: scheduled QantasLink flights connect Christmas Island with Perth and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, while a container port at Flying Fish Cove (and a secondary unloading point at Norris Point) handles freight for the community. Road conditions vary and many tracks require four‑wheel‑drive vehicles, though rental cars can be booked locally despite the absence of franchised providers. Basic amenities such as a small supermarket and a handful of restaurants are concentrated in the main settlement, offering essential services to residents along Phosphate Hill Road.
