Location and People • Fiji Islands is located in the southern Pacific Ocean , east of Australia and about 1500 kilometers directly north of New Zealand .
Location and People • Some 110 of the country's 332 islands are inhabited. The two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu , account for more than 85% of the country's 18,270 square kilometers of land area. The bigger islands are mostly volcanic, while the smaller ones are largely coral formations rising only a meter or so above sea level.
Population • Fiji's population of around 800,000 people is made up of indigenous Fijians (50%), Indians (47%) with Europeans, Chinese and South Pacific Islanders making up the remaining 3%.
Electricity • The current in Fiji is 240 volts AC 50Hz with three-pin power points - the same as in Australia and New Zealand. Leading hotels and resorts offer universal outlets for 240v or 110v appliances, or 110V adapters. Many island resorts generate their own electricity, and sometimes when the generators kick in and out, the bedside digital clocks will reset back to 12:00.
