LEVUKA This picturesque port, on the island of Ovalau, off the east coast of Viti Levu, was the original capital of Fiji. The capital was removed to Suva over 60 years ago, and Levuka now is only a coastal trading centre, with some ruined buildings and many piquant memories of “the old days." —Photo by Fiji Public Relations Office
