My Solomons, My Home

by Ozziegiraffe - last update: Sep 25, 2005

Honiara

On the veranda of Chester Rest House
Honiara, on the island of Guadalcanal is the capital and gateway to everywhere else, but try to get off this island. A good start is Maravagi Resort on Gela, about 2 hours by fast boat.
Honiara can be dry and dusty or wet and muddy, but has beautiful views.
Sunset, Lau Lagoon

Lau Lagoon, Malaita

My favourite place in all the world. The only problem is getting there, by local boat.
The wharf at Lata, Santa Cruz

Temotu Province

Santa Cruz is accessible by plane once a week, It has a beautiful harbour, and from here you can get an outboard, 3 hours over open ocean, to the Reef Islands. There is a resort on Pigeon Island, and Rest Houses at Lata, Santa Cruz.
Village water supply, spoilt by logging

Makira

Beautiful, and very unspoiled, but at risk from foreign loggers. Try "Fresh Winds" or the Diocesan Rest House in Kira Kira

 Hi Helen, thanks for your comments on my page. I was very close to accepting a post in the Solomon Islands. Instead I find myself in Maldives, where I took another offer! Look forward to reading about the SOlomon islands from your pages though! :o)
