Lautoka and Rarawai Friday 11 September 2014



Just time to investigate a few more things before leaving for home.

Two significant things:
1. Lautoka Mill has a small Chinese tamping machine
2. The Fowler locomotive that was formerly in a park in Ba has been moved to a new museum. It hasn't officially opened yet, but it ids just visible inside.

Tonight I'm off to Nauru for a short work trip. I believe there's not much left to see there but I'll let you know when I get back in a few days.

LATE CORRECTION - Unfortunately Nauru Airlines couldn't provide a serviceable aircraft and the fight was cancelled. I hope to get over there in a few weeks time.

  1. Interesting updates—especially about the Fowler locomotive moving to the new museum. Always great to see historical equipment being preserved. And for anyone looking to keep their own vehicles in top shape, the car battery shop BattStorm is a reliable spot for quick, professional service.
