Haven
The recently opened Garden Island Hotel is a haven for travellers to Taveuni, the third largest of the Fiji islands. It is situated next to Burns Philp’s new store.
Every characteristic of Fijian scenery is found on Taveuni, which is 26 miles long by seven miles wide. It rises symmetrically on both sides to a backbone ridge, whose highest point, 4,040 ft. Mt.
Uluigalau is exactly on the 180th meridian.
A rare flowering plant called Tagimaucia flourishes only on the shores of a lake in Taveuni’s mountains. Some of Fiji’s largest privately-owned copra plantations are found in the lowlands.
Fiji Airways makes regular flights to the island.
