Today I
went out to the east of Labasa on the 53km line to Nubu. The return trip from
the mill to Nubu by cane railway usually takes about 20 hours reflecting the track conditions
and the productivity of the rail transport system. However, Fiji Sugar
Corporation does appear to be making welcome improvements. The dirt road
conditions are also bad although used by bus services.
