Jaco Island
Jaco Island, sometimes spelt Jako, is an uninhabited island in East Timor, a country occupying the eastern end of the island of Timor in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Wallacea. It is one of the country’s Important Bird Areas and lies within Nino Konis Santana National Park.
Description
Jaco lies just off the eastern end of the island of Timor, part of the Tutuala subdistrict in Lautém District, and is separated from the mainland in front of Valu Beach by a 700 m wide channel navigable by small vessels. It is lowlying, with an area of 11 km2 and a maximum elevation of about 100 m. It is covered mainly by tropical dry forest, fringed by strand vegetation and sandy beaches. There are some low cliffs on the southern coast.
Birds
The island has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because it supports populations of bar-necked cuckoo-doves, black doves, pink-headed imperial pigeons, streak-breasted honeyeaters, fawn-breasted whistlers, blue-cheeked flowerpeckers, flame-breasted sunbirds and Timor sparrows.

Gigolo Aunt
by: Pink FloydGrooving around in a trench coat
With the satin on trail
Seems to be all around in tin and lead pail, we pale
Jiving on down to the beach
To see the blue and the gray
Seems to be all and it’s rosy-it’s a beautiful day!
Will you please keep on the track
’cause I almost want you back
’cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you’re a gigolo aunt!
Yes I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt, you’re a gigolo aunt!
Heading down with the light, the dust in your way
She was angrier than, than her watershell male
Life to this love to me - heading me down to me
Thunderbird shale
Seems to be all and it’s rosy - it’s a beautiful day!
Will you please keep on the track
’cause I almost want you back
’cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt
Grooving on down in a knapsack superlative day
Some wish she move and just as she can move jiving away
She made the scene should have been-superlative day
Everything’s all and it’s rosy, it’s a beautiful day
Will you please keep on the track
’cause I almost want you back
’cause I know what you are
You are a gigolo aunt...
