Rodd TABLE OF CONTENTS SUMMARY HISTORY OF EXPLORATION GEOLOGY Regional Tectonic Setting ... Acknowledgements SUMMARY Fiji forms part of the South-West Pacific island arc system which marks the boundary between the Indo-Australia and Pacific plates. The territorial waters cover almost 1.3 million km² and contain two shallow-water Tertiary sedimentary basins. Bligh Water Basin, covering some 9500 km², has sediment thicknesses in excess of 5km and has excellent potential for hydrocarbons. Bau Waters Basin is also prospective, having a shallow-water area of about 1600km², with sediment thicknesses up to 4km. Fiji lies on the same regional play trend of Miocene reefs which produce oil in Irian Jaya, Indonesia and gas/condensate in offshore Papua New Guinea. Indeed Fiji's basins have many similarities with the oil and gas producing, arc-related basins of Southeast Asia. Source rocks of Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene age are exposed onshore in Fiji and have been encountered by drilling in the offshore basins. An oil seep in Bligh Water Basin and oil and gas shows in wells provide evidence that hydrocarbons have been generated in the basins. Modelling studies indicate peak oil generation to be at about 2.6km below sea floor.

    Extractions: John Martin M.D. William Mariner's story is a classic true adventure of the South Seas. The boy Mariner was a clerk aboard the English private ship of war, the Port au Prince that ventured into the South Pacific nearly two centuries ago. He survived the massacre of the crew at Tonga's Ha'apai Islands in 1806 and became the adopted son of the warrior king Finau 'Ulukalala II, who gave Mariner a new name 'Toki 'Ukamea' or Iron Axe. Mariner spent four years in Tonga before his escape to England. His remarkable story as told to Dr. Martin gives a detailed account of an important time in Tongan history. The power of the divine representative of the gods, the Tu'i Tonga was declining, and the Pacific Island Kingdom was in the turmoil of a civil war to which Finau 'Ulukalala was about to introduce the terror of his newly-acquired canons.

    Extractions: Background and History BACKGROUND ON CHICHEWA AND RELATED LANGUAGES Chichewa is a language of the Bantu language family, spoken in parts of East, Central, and Southern Africa. It is spoken in Malawi where, from 1968 until recently, it has served as the national language. It is also spoken in Mozambique, especially in the provinces of Tete and Niassa, in Zambia (especially in the Eastern Province), as well as in Zimbabwe where, according to some estimates, it ranks as the third most widely used local language, after Shona and Ndebele. The countries of Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique constitute the central location of Chichewa. Because of the national language policy adopted by the Malawi government, which promoted Chichewa through active educational programs, media usage and, other research activities carried out under the auspices of the Chichewa Board, out of a population of around 9 million, upwards of 65% have functional literacy or active command of this language. In Mozambique , the language goes by the name of Chinyanja, and it is native to 3.3% of a population numbering approximately 11.5 million . In Tete province it is spoken by 41.7% of a population of 777,426 and, it is the first language of 7.2% of the population of Niassa province, whose population totals 506,974 (see Firmino, 1995).

    Extractions: History The Tongan archipelago is thought to have been colonised around 3000 BC, but the earliest date verified by radiocarbon dating is about 1100 BC. The Lapita people arrived in Tonga between 3500 and 3300 years ago, and their first capital was near present-day Fua'amotu Airport on Tongatapu. The Tongans' oral history tells of a girl shellfishing who was caught and raped by the sun god Tangaloa, and she gave birth nine months later. The date for this event (determined by oral history) has been placed at 950 AD. Significantly, the Incas also believed their king was descended from the sun, and Thor Heyerdahl put forward the unconventional theory that Polynesians migrated from the Americas, not Asia, given the presence of sweet potato on many Pacific islands. Most of the scientific community has never swallowed this theory. Tongan warriors were the Vikings of the Pacific, wreaking havoc in their wake. They subscribed to the view that war was pursued by noble and worthy men and peace was strictly for pansies. They extended the Tongan Empire to include parts of Fiji, the Samoas, Tokelau and Niue. The royal title Tu'i Tonga was passed from father to son, and during the mid-17th century the most powerful royal title to emerge was the

Make a Reservation H OTEL HISTORY Herbert and Hartland Law took the burden of social responsibility seriously, and went ahead with plans to repair, redecorate and where necessary restore. Their original choice for a new architect was Stanford White, the prominent New Yorker. Within weeks however, Mr. White met his demise while dining at Madison Square Garden, when multimillionaire Harry K. Thaw shot and mortally wounded him. The Law brothers, undeterred, continued along, this time with an electrifying choice: Julia Morgan, the first woman graduate of the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris who was just starting out, and would later rise to be known as the nation's preeminent female architect. Diminutive, with her hair pinned tightly to her head, she nevertheless did a magnificent job overseeing every aspect of the job, often climbing up on ladders to inspect the work of her contractors. She was not above dressing down a worker twice her size if his work did not conform to her strict standards.
