1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Suva Harbour, Fiji, 1930s - The Mouth of the River Rewa" Suva Harbour, located on the southeastern coast of Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island, has been a significant hub of activity since the late 19th century. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the mouth of the River Rewa as it meets the harbour. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this vibrant Pacific Island nation. The serene waters of Suva Harbour, dotted with traditional Fijian canoes and European vessels, reflect the lush greenery of the surrounding hills. The mouth of the River Rewa, with its gentle currents, adds a natural element to the bustling harbour. The image also reveals the diverse population of Suva, with people from various ethnic backgrounds going about their daily lives. The 1930s were a pivotal period in Fiji's history. The country was under British colonial rule, and Suva was the administrative and commercial centre. This photograph captures the unique blend of Western influence and traditional Fijian culture that characterized the era. The River Rewa, a vital source of freshwater, played a crucial role in the daily lives of the people of Suva. The river was used for transportation, fishing, and agriculture. The image underscores the importance of the river as a lifeline for the community. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a bygone era. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the evolution of Suva Harbour and Fiji as a whole. The image serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the Fijian people, who have continued to thrive amidst the changing tides of history.
