AN aerial photograph (by Whites Aviation, Ltd.) of the township of Nukualofa, capital and chief port of the Kingdom of Tonga. Nukualofa is on the island of Tongatabu, which is coral fringed and has a vast lagoon in its centre. The reef can be seen in the foreground of the photograph, with the wharf at the edge, of it. The lagoon, which has an entrance to the sea, east of Nukualofa, forms a background to the township.
