FERTILE FIJI This is where the Sigatoka River joins the sea on the south-west coast of Viti Levu. The small township of Sigatoka can be seen on the left bank; cane-fields and the Queen’s Road to Suva over the bridge on the right. The river is not navigable for any distance, and the valley road extends only a few miles. Further up, the valley opens out in to som of the most fertile river flats in the Colony, eminently suitable for an extension of the already flourishing dairying industry of Fiji. Sigatoka has the best climate in Viti Levu, being between the extreme wet and extreme dry zones.

It has become popular in late years as a haven for retired people. —Photo by Whites Aviation, Ltd.
