South Pacific Island . . .

As it says in the poem . . . "Many a green isle needs must be, in the deep wide sea of misery ..."

The Koki "Traffic Island" is not green but it has caused much controversy and some misery in Port Moresby since this form of traffic control has been adopted by the local Police Depart ment. Orange warning lights have been installed. Many cars have hit the island since it was built—but whether this is the fault of the island or the result of local driving habits has been a matter of much local argument.
