Our Cover

October is independence month for the Crown Colony of Fiji.

On October 10 it becomes a full British dominion — like Australia and New Zealand.

Visitors are welcome in friendly Fiji, and a Fijian welcome is like no other. The spirit of the welcome is captured in this close-up of the kava ceremony —kava being known as yaqona in Fiji.
