Fiji Drone Footage in 4K : Matuku Island

Filmed for Loving Islands in August / September 2017
Loving Islands is a Fair trade organics company based in Suva, Fiji and has a vision to build a network of empowered Pacific Island communities with sustainable economies that meet their needs and regenerate their natural resources. We spent 2 weeks on the island with Loving Islands Founder Litia Kirwin who took us to all 7 villages where a Sevusevu was performed upon arrival at each village.

Hi William - I'm writing from ABC Australia and we're wondering about the potential of using some of your footage for a piece on climate change in the Pacific and who we'd have to clear that with. Could you please email me if you see this? [e-mail]. Thanks.

Proud to have Matuku blood running through my veins. 😍💯

Pure Beauty. First time to see Yaroi Village. Hope to go and visit Yaroi one day

[@monak2752]

Thanks for this video. First time for me to see where my maternal grandmother came from. She's from Qalikarua village. My maternal grandfather, Yee Pak had a shop in Yaroi village. I think it was the first shop on the island.

[@vatutuvayaroi2957]

Yes I remember a story about your maternal grandmother and they made a love song too plus Yee Pak was the best bread shop in Yaroi and Matuku in those years. The old shop building is still standing today called Nalake..I’m from Yaroi. Think I have a mate called Lawrence Mar who is also must be related to you too. Here is the song about them titled “Rosi ni Nalake” “Busailawalawa au via tukuna, Vakaciriloloma na cila ni vula Na Loma ni Koro au sa na butuka Ki na Wavu oka me tou laki Tu ya Chrs Senirosi kecega sa tiko eke Murimuri lomani oqo oiauwe Sa bogi kau moce kau loloma yani Niu nanumi iko Kabani 2/ Sega tale e dua me uasivi cake Me sivia na Rosi mai Nalake Corivata na Sinu kei na Matiavi Qai muloca koto ai boi ni Yasi”

Breathtaking and absolute pristine waters. One can only marvel at the foresight of our ancestors having to establish a foothold of the Pulotu Kingdom on this unique beauty .

"Matuku Dua" My Mom is from Yaroi ❤❤❤ My Island Home in the Sun 🥰🥰🥰

[@TheDemonation13]

beautiful

[@rucifarrell6368]

Qalikarua was where my father was born so wonderful to finally see footage of Burotukula and all of Matuku. Sad there are no more bures. Can't tell from but is there a road linking all the villages? That would provide better connectivity, open up trade and maybe get some shops and businesses up and running.

[@alipatetuberi7726]

io, road infrastructure is already in place, built some decades ago but jst not certain of its current state, btw, I am frm Qalikarua too.
