Nausori Highlands

The Nausori Highlands are located in the interior of Fiji's main island Viti Levu.

The dryzone mountain rainforest contributes to its national significance as outlined in Fiji's Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan.

[1] The Nausori Highlands were originally considered (by European settlers) to be a hideout for cannibals.

In Navala near a thatched house, the official residence of the chief, lies a cemetery where missionaries converted the highlands to Christianity.

The Nausori Highlanders are very proud of being the village where the rugby union player Joeli Vidiri was born.
