Suva

In 1868, the Bauan chieftain granted 5,000 km2 of land to the Australian-based Polynesia Company in exchange for debt repayment.

Suva is located on a hilly peninsula and is almost surrounded by sea, yet the nearest beach is 40 kilometers away.

Suva has a tropical rainforest climate with no true dry season, averaging 3,000 mm of precipitation annually.

Suva is sometimes called the 'New York of the Pacific' due to its multiracial and multicultural demographics.

The Fiji Museum in Suva houses the world's most extensive collection of Fijian artifacts.
