                    <description>There is nowhere like Nauru.  It is a fascinating place but its recent history has been rather tumultuous.A very brief history  Nauru was inhabited by Micronesian and Polynesian people around 3000 years ago.  Nauru was annexed by Germany in 1888 and phosphate was discovered in 1900.  After WW1 Australia New Zealand the UK became trustees of the island.  Japanese forces occupied Nauru during WW2</description>

                    <description>In November I had the amazing opportunity to go to the Commonwealth Human Rights Forum in Kampala Uganda.  I flew for over two days via Bangkok and Addis Ababa travelling across a bazillion timezones and ended up on the other side of the world talking about the right to information.    I had a few days before the conference to have a look around Kampala .  I visited the Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctua</description>

                    <description>So I managed almost 2 weeks back in Suva after my Uganda trip before I headed off overseas again.  In that time I squeezed in an election night party and passing my Fijian Beginners language exam.   This time it was back to Vanuatu to take a course on Community Organisation Law in the South Pacific at the University of the South Pacific in Port Vila.  The course basically covered everything from c</description>

                    <title>Vanua Levu  Taveuni</title>
                    <description>My Christmas holiday started in Labasa  the main town on the second largest island Vanua Levu.  My fellow travellers and I spent the first day looking around town.  Labasa is a big centre for the sugar cane industry here so it wasnt unusual to see huge trucks spilling over with sugar cane trundling through the main street in town. Next stop was Savusavu  about a 3 hour bus ride from Labasa.  It</description>

                    <description>I spent the Easter long weekend with the Rucksack Club in the Viti Levu highlands.  This trip was to Heaven's Edge about 2 hours inland from Nadi.  On Good Friday the plan was to walk from Nagado Village to Heaven's Edge.  No one was really sure how long it would take to do the walk with estimates of somewhere between 2 hours and 9 hours  We started off around 10am and it was a good but tiring wa</description>

                    <description>Last Saturday I headed out with the Rucksack Club for a day on the Navua River about 45 mins from Suva.  We headed out on longboats for about an hour upriver  passing by villages fisherman cows and the odd underwater excavator.We stopped for lunch at a waterfall about a 5 minute walk from the main river.  To get to the second waterfall we had to walk through the stream  sometimes with the wat</description>

                    <description>I have long been jealous of my friends' blogs that have the text  pictures right next to each other.  So when you are rabbiting on about beautiful sunsets and palm trees a rarity for me of course  the reader can see if you really telling the truth or just full of crap and trying to make them jealous of your tropical paradise as another cold Canberra winter starts setting in.  So I have succum</description>
