Vanua Levu

Vanua Levu is Fiji’s second-largest island, separated from Taveuni by the Somosomo Strait. Mountainous country divides its long coastline, with bays and peninsulas facing the Koro Sea and the open Pacific. Its communities formed several chiefly territories, including Bua and Cakaudrove; the latter was associated with the Tui Cakau at Somosomo. The island lay within networks of travel and alliance linking Fiji with Tonga and the Lau Islands.

The later city of Labasa lies here.
