  Ovalau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Levuka, Fiji's former capital, is the largest of 24 towns and villages on the island.

There is one road which circles the island, however, between the villages of Rukuruku and Buresala the road is little more than a track, as travel between these points is not common, most traffic being directed from these two villages to Levuka.
