Christmas Island crab migration

I'm researching a trip to see the crab migration on Christmas Island.
Was wondering if anyone has some more detailed info beyond what's on
the Christmas Island website
(http://www.christmas.net.au/introduction.html).

More specifically:
- Dates for this year's migration
- Cheap hostel or hostel-like accommodations
- Airfare cost from Jakarta
- How is the migration in light of crazy ants (is it still worth
seeing?)

Thanks for all info, SM

Followed your link and clicked on the National Park and Wildlife link and
found this:

"At the beginning of the wet season (usually October / November), most adult
Red Crabs suddenly begin a spectacular migration from the forest to the
coast, to breed and release eggs into the sea."
