This represents about one-third of the population of the whole country. The city and suburbs cover an area of 60 square kilometers, with many of the suburbs having their unique character. The city is built on a narrow isthmus between two harbors, the Waitemata to the East and the Manukau to the West. Water sports are a pastime enjoyed by a large number of Aucklanders and the city enjoys the reputation as being known as the 'City of Sails' due to the number of yachts that sail in the haharborsnd the adjoining Hauraki Gulf.

Day 6 Port of Call Dravuni Island Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 6:00p.m.

Overview

Dravuni is located in the northern part of the reef at S 18 48' and E 178 36'. Approximately 125 persons live in a single village on this 200-acre island. Because the reefs provide a major part of their sustenance, the chiefs have guarded them well and wish to see them studied and preserved. Only four of the islands within this reef are inhabited. Both the Great Astrolabe and the North Astrolabe Reefs offer a broad variety of habitats. Lagoon depths range from very shallow to 40 meters and include rock, sand/sediment, and seagrass areas, as well as coral seamounts. Dense coral growth edges the windward sides of the smaller islands within the reef. Rich underwater seagrass beds flourish off the leeward coast of Dravuni and some of the other islands. Transportation to the island is provided by an inter-island ferry, the Bulouniceva, which departs Suva on Wednesday and Sunday, makes a round trip to the Kadavu group with Dravuni as the last stop, and returns on Friday and Tuesday respectively. Workboats may be made available through the MSP, although advanced bookings are necessary. A boat may also be hired from the village, with a boatman. Charges for using the field station facility depend upon the support needed.

Overview

This little city of 80,000 people is pretty recent as there were no buildings on its site when in 1769, Captain Cook first reached Matavai Bay located 10 km away on the East Coast. Since the 18th century, sailors realized how safe was its bay for their ships. In 1797, the London Missionary Society (LMS) tried to send some missionaries to settle down in Papeete but they did not succeed until 1824 with the help of Queen Pomare IV. It was Governor Bruat who decided in 1843 that Papeete would become the administrative center of the newly born French Protectorate. At that time, the expansion of the city was going fast and the bay of Papeete had become a large harbour. In the 19th century, some Chinese started to settle down in Papeete which counted only 5,000 persons. During World War I, Papeete was bombed by the Germans, and the Municipal Market was destroyed.
