Sigatoka Link Has Scenic Attractions
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Oct. 29.
progress is being made with the construction of the new road between Suva and Sigatoka. The road is now well past Navua, and only eight or ten miles remain to be com pleted. Then it will be possible to motor right round the great island of Viti Levu.
The new highway, which will open up many beautiful beaches hitherto inacces
sible to the public, will have good grades and easy curves. It will be shorter than the northern route from Suva to Lau toka, and it is thought that scenically it will be more attractive.
Mr. A. Ousey, licensee of the Sigatoka Hotel, has got in early and secured a property with a good beach frontage, about five miles from the hotel, and there erected several “batches” and hures for letting to visitors. St. Anne’s on Sea, as the camp is called, should prove popular with week-end parties from Suva.
Apropos of roads it is interesting to note that the northern road, round from Suva, via Tavua and Ba to Lautoka, and on through Nadi to Sigatoka, is generally in good condition at present, and is being well maintained. •
