Whispering palms cast shadows across this lovely beach on Upolu, Western Samoa. In the distance can be seen the village of Lefaga. Qantas took this picture (and the pictures of New Caledonia on pages 38 to 40). This is a typical picture of that part of Western Samoa’s coast.
Samoa has been indepen dent now for six years and is beginning to encourage visitors.
