WEEK ONE: INTRODUCTION
MY PROFILE
I was born on the Island of Mangaia(Cook Island).MANGAIA, the most southerly of the Cook Islands, is also the second largest. It has the distinction of being the oldest island in the Pacific. Analysis of its geology shows it dates from 18 million years ago which is probably why it arouses keen interest among geologists. Roughly circular in shape, it rises 15,600 feet (4750 m) above the ocean floor. It has a central volcanic plateau and, like many of the southern islands in the Cooks, it is surrounded by a 200-foot (60 m) high ring of cliffs of fossilised coral, makatea.Arrived to New Zealand on the 2nd February 1981 and sadly I have never returned home since then.Brought up by my grandparents, whom I love dearly. I speak fluent Cook Island Maori and yes I am a real Poly Cookie.

My village
My favourite place on the Island
This part of the Island is what we called "Inland" this is where we grow taro, pineapple and a place to relax.
Ivirua Beach Entrance
Mangaian beach are not like the one you see in Rarotonga or Aitutaki Island, it is very rocky but someplaces are beautiful.
Where we plant Taro and Pineapple
View from the top
On the Island of Mangaia, you have a beach on one side, in the centre are villages which surrounds the whole Island and on the other side you have what is called "Inland".
Mangaia Airport
Easier way to get to mangaia is by Air Rarotonga, not Air New Zealand the plane won't fit on the airport. Don't forget, before the plane lands you may need to say a little prayer because the airport runway is made of gravel, don't blame this on my grandfather at the time he was building this airport with the help of some village people and the entire Mangaia high school we didn't have the machinery in those days. Hey...seriously their has been no OSH issue report or plane crashing.
The red soil reveals the ancient volcanic orgins of Mangaia. This type of soil is excellent for growing the sweeters pineapple. The pine forest was planted about 20 years ago.
