p. 70 · Read in the full issue

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, August 10. r'.E Fiji Government has set up a committee to discuss ways and means of developing Nuku lau Island as a holiday resort.

The 22-acre island, situated on the reef a few miles from Suva, was formerly a quarantine station, but has been a popular picnic resort and rendezvous for Suva yachtsmen for a number of years.

Buildings on the island were heavily damaged in the 1952 hurri cane. A shark-proof swimming pool established during the war has also fallen into disrepair.
