Koro is a volcanic island of Fiji that forms part of the Lomaiviti Archipelago. The Koro Sea is named after this volcanic island, which has a chain of basaltic cinder cones extending from north to south along its crest. With a land area of 105.3 square kilometers (42.1 square Miles), it is the seventh largest island of Fiji. Its latitude is 17.18°; its longitude is 179.24°. Its population in 1960 was around 2500. As of 2007 around 4500 Fijians lived on the island, in 14 villages,today a lot of families of European countries are building houses in this island. A roll-on, roll-off ferry services Koro twice weekly from Suva, and also connects Koro to Vanua Levu to the North. Northern Air provides one scheduled flight per week to Koro, usually on Saturday from Suva.
The island has an airport, situated on its eastern coast. On its northwestern tip is situated the Dere Bay Resort and the Koro Beach Resort . A residential subdivision, Koro Seaview Estates , was established around Dere Bay Resort in 1989 and about 60 homes have been established in the development as of 2009, including a re-constructed 300-year-old home imported from Java, Indonesia. Copra and Dalo are the main exports on the island. The village of Nacamaki on the northern side of the island does a traditional turtle calling ceremony during which villagers chant songs and turtles rise to the surface . Forestry and timber logging are the major economic activities. The island has several small medical stations and schools up to High school. A Western Union and a Post office are also on the island.
The 2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season is the period of the year when most tropical cyclones form within the South Pacific Ocean to, the east of 160°E. The season officially runs from November 1, 2015 to April 30, 2016, however a tropical cyclone could form at any time between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016 and would count towards the season total. During the season, tropical cyclones will be officially monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service and the Meteorological Service of New Zealand (MetService). Other warning centres like the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) will also monitor the basin. The FMS and MetService both use the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale and estimate windspeeds over a period of ten minutes, while the JTWC estimated sustained winds over a 1-minute period, which are subsequently compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS).
Koro may refer to one of the following:
An island /ˈaɪlənd/ or isle /ˈaɪl/ is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys. An island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, or a holm. A grouping of geographically or geologically related islands is called an archipelago, e.g. the Philippines.
An island may be described as such despite the presence of an artificial land bridge, for example Singapore and its causeway, or the various Dutch delta islands, such as IJsselmonde. Some places may even retain "island" in their names for historical reasons after being connected to a larger landmass by a wide land bridge, such as Coney Island or Coronado Island. Conversely, when a piece of land is separated from the mainland by a man-made canal, for example the Peloponnese by the Corinth Canal, it is generally not considered an island.
There are two main types of islands: continental islands and oceanic islands. There are also artificial islands.

One week after the second biggest storm in recorded history TC Winston hit Koro Island the VOU team were there.

Hearing the stories of the wrath of this cyclone we know this is only the start of the road to rebuilding this island paradise. Every one of us has the capacity to help our communities in any way that we can, and every hand that reaches out to help a fellow person always has an impact.

To find the most beautiful lands on the earth, you’re going to have to search far and wide. Such was the case with Captain Bligh of His Majesty’s ship “Providence”, who came across Koro Island in the midst of a historical 1789 journey. Although first discovered over two centuries ago, the breathtaking beauty of Koro Island remains timeless. Matana Plantation, which consists of 806 acres of this incredible land, is available as a rare fee-simple purchase. The property’s original purpose was actually a coconut plantation, and the land became a great supplier of “Copra”, which is the dried kernel of a coconut, usually boiled in order to extract coconut oil. The abundance of these materials has led Koro Island to become completely energy independent, with copra bio-fuel supplying all of the i...

Proshno koroon Ep 85
We're at the tip-top, yeah, we're not getting any better than this
I'm out of lines, girl, I'm not getting any smoother than this
But could you blame me if I...if I...if I...
Took you all for prisoner with just one line, one lie
Because I'll be the preacher to all his converts
"donate now to my rightful cause"
But what good is a quick healing to go?
If the lesson is never learned it's just like stitches for show
They say the carolina heat
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat
But don't discount their winter winds
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in
But with empty stomachs and hungry eyes
Our only choice was to swallow pride
But I guess you just ate much better than the rest
We're at the ground floor
But our numbers they only get higher from here
It's not the failure, but the cost of success
Is the thing I can't help but fear
This isn't righteous
It's a mid-life crisis
I'm not compelled
You just convinced me to write this
It's for the greater good
'Cause I'd rather be great than good
They say the carolina heat
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat
But don't discount their winter winds
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in
But with empty stomachs and hungry eyes
Our only choice was to swallow pride
But I guess you just ate much better than the rest
You're skin was appealing wallpaper
Now you're skin is just peeling wallpaper
They say the carolina heat
Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat
But don't discount their winter winds
And all the cold shoulders that the slightest draft lets in
But with empty stomachs and hungry eyes
Our only choice was to swallow pride
