A Real Parent's Story
The Lapita pottery sparked questions about 'people from before'
“My 8-year-old stared at 3,000-year-old pottery for 10 minutes. 'Did ancient Fijians have toys?' She spent the rest of the day drawing.”

Thurston Gardens alone are worth the visit — enormous tropical trees, peacocks wandering. The museum inside is world-class. The war canoe is breathtaking (25m long!). The Lapita collection is one of the best in the Pacific.
