		The mountaineers around Namosi, which I visited, who were all cannibals twenty-five years ago, are much darker in colour than the coast natives, and they are undoubtedly of Papuan origin.
		Here we found the "Buli" of Namosi squatting down in a miserable, smoky hut where we rested for a few minutes, and the hut was soon filled with a crowd of natives, all anxious to view the "papalangi" (foreigner).
		They often kept some of their prisoners and fattened them up, and when the day came for killing one, it was the women of Namosi's duty to take him down to the large stone by the river, where they cut him open alive and tore his heart out.

	Active Tectonics and the Seismic Hazard of southeast Viti Levu
		The Namosi Gorge is a peculiar geomorphological feature, which presently forms a wind gap between the Navua and Waidina river catchments in south central Viti Levu and is known commonly as the Namosi Gap.
		Disruption of flow of this paleo river is thought to have occurred at the Namosi Gorge, which led to southward flow of the Navua river and which left the Namosi Gorge dry.
		The geological history of the area as interpreted from the currently mapped geomorphology and stratigraphy is consistent with an exceptional landsliding event in the Namosi Gorge which ponded the paleo drainage west of the Namosi Gap for a number of thousands of years.

		The Luva is short for Wainikoroiluva which roughly translates as "the river that scours villages away." As rugged as that sounds -- and the land around the Luva is breath-taking -- the Luva is primarily a class II, inflatable kayak float.
		The Namosi was long guarded by some of Fiji's fiercest warriors and Mount Voma, which rises to an impressive 3,005 feet, is a narrow full dome that rises out of sheer rock cliffs.
		Countless climbers have compared Voma to the El Capitan face in Yosemite, and when you mix in the ruggedness of a land that reportedly contained cannibalism less than 100 years ago, you've got an incredible setting for a float in 80-degree water.
