    Thoughts of the Local Residents of Espiritu Santo on Australian Visitors Frances Cassidy, MBus, BED, DipT The University of Southern Queensland Toowoomba, Qld. Australia. 4350 Email: [email protected] Abstract Mass tourism, which may lead to environmental problems, cultural and social degradation, distortion of economic benefits and disease, particularly in poorer countries, provides financial reasons for preserving cultural, historical and natural resources or traditions, which otherwise may be neglected.

Because a suitable national consultant was unavailable at that time, SOPAC provided the services of its Energy Adviser. In addition to discussions in Port Vila, there were field trips to visit renewable energy projects (and potential project sites) on the islands of Efate and Espiritu Santo. Unfortunately the head of Government Energy Unit and several other key staff were unavailable for discussions during the mission’s visit. The local offices of the international oil companies were unwilling to provide any information on their product sales, an omission that has hindered some analysis. This report reviews the status of energy sector activities in Vanuatu through February 2004. An earlier draft of this report was reviewed by the Vanuatu National PIREP Committee (the National Advisory Committee on Climate Change), which provided thoughtful, useful and substantive feedback, and by Secretariat Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), United Nations Development Programme and others.

(Signature) Anna Addison Date: i Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the contributions from all the tourism stakeholders of the South Pacific islands for making a difference in the effort to advance social and economic development in the region. While working at Air New Zealand, I developed a passion for the South Pacific islands and realised the potential that they offer for travel and tourism. This research is just my small contribution to the sustainable tourism development of this region of the world. I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Simon Milne for his patience, guidance and insightful advice. Thanks also to my secondary supervisor, Dr Mindy Sun, for her kind and supportive approach, and to Dr Carolyn Deuchar for her mentorship.

I love the feeling you get from strolling the teak decks, fine wine at sunset and dining with a few close friends. Not to mention these same friends sharing the excitement of discovering beautiful new destinations with interesting and sometimes challenging activities each day. When I designed ‘Island Passage’ the instructions were simple: I wanted a luxurious layout, spacious and comfortable for a maximum of 24 like-minded travellers. Similarly, I wanted oversized cabins, generous en-suite bathrooms, wide halls and decks that would prevent any feeling of being cramped and critically important to create an overwhelming feeling of being on board a small private yacht. I wanted an experience designed around the little details that really mattered; fine linens, ever changing selection of natural soaps and shampoos, nightly turndown service with delicious chocolates and bottled water, the fresh smell of flowers, ample lighting, storage and seating areas, individually controlled air conditioning in each cabin, fabulous cuisine and a crew who love to be of service to our guests. My other passions are food and wine - simply put, every meal has to be magnificent.

  • Archaeology of Vanuatu
    2 Archaeology of Vanuatu ‘…another incident in a long series of incidents, a chaotic chain of events in a chaotic chain of islands, coralline or volcanic restless’ (Harrisson 1937:110). Introduction Although the above epigraph refers to the long series of outside contacts that have occurred throughout Vanuatu’s history it also has some relevance when reviewing the history of archaeological research in the archipelago. This chapter concentrates on a chronological review of that research and in doing so attempts to place it and the current research in historical and archaeological context. The review avoids delving in the minutiae but rather highlights general research themes and results. More comprehensive discussion is included for archaeological research which has not been fully published. On the islands where this current research has been carried out, namely Erromango, Efate and Malekula, more detail will be included in relevant chapters. In an attempt to retain contextual consistency the former colonial name for Vanuatu, the New Hebrides/Nouvelles Hébrides will be used in discussion of earlier research which took place prior to 1980. In addition the terms ‘Incised and Applied Relief’ (Golson 1968:12) and/or ‘Mangaasi’ (Garanger 1971) will also be used throughout the review when referring to ceramic traditions as, although they have recently been shown to be somewhat imprecise and all encompassing (Bedford et al. 1998; Bedford 2000a, 2000b), it was within these frameworks that much of the earlier research and discussion was conducted. Earlier researchers have also somewhat freely used and often intermixed terms such as style, ware, phase and tradition1 when referring to ceramic assemblages and this will again be reflected throughout this review .

  • Pieces of the Vanuatu Puzzle: Archaeology of the North, South and Centre
    terra australis 23 Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: coastal sites in southern New South Wales. R.J. Lampert (1971) Volume 2: Ol Tumbuna: archaeological excavations in the eastern central Highlands, Papua New Guinea. J.P.
