Now
let us move onto Mystery Island, this is a tiny uninhabited islet in
Vanautu’s Tafea Province, officially charted under the indigenous
name Inyeug.
Other
than an airstrip built by the United States Military personnel to
serve the nearby island of Aneityum, Mystery Island only has a few
huts for overnighters and modern amenities for cruise passengers and
some trails that bisect the island.
Tim
and I went over to Mystery Island there were markets set up for those
of the cruise ship and this is were we took the glass bottom boat
tour which was awesome.
The
population is zero, no one lives on the island as is considered taboo
to do so, the locals from Aneityum when the cruise ships stop at the
island, the population of Aneityum is only about 1,200 and when we
were on the glass bottom boat tour we were told that some locals live
on a near by island that has no running water, electricity or
anything modern.
People
speak English, French, Bislama and Anejom which is the local language
of Aneityum, the government is a Parliamentary republic and the
currency is the Vatu.
The
only cruise ships that stop at Mystery Island are those from P &

DeleteHi, Jo-Anne!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Shady and I would love to explore Mystery Island! I have never been anyplace that has a population of zero. We also have our sights set on Tasmania.
Have a super week, dear friend Jo-Anne!
It was the first place I have visited that had no one living there and being taboo to live there. I am looking forward to Tassie next week even if it will be cold
DeleteThat's interesting that no one actually lives on the island and it is taboo to do so! I wonder why? Looks beautiful there.
