Capital: Port Vila Location: Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It is situated 1,750 km east of northern Australia, 500 km northeast of New Caledonia, and west of Fiji. Economy: The four mainstays of the economy are agriculture, tourism, offshore financial services, and raising cattle. Exports include copra, kava, beef, cocoa, and timber. Language: Bislama (Pidgin English) is the native tongue, but English and French are widely spoken.

Climate: The average summer temperature from November to March is 28 degrees and the winter average from April to October is 23 degrees. It can get a bit cool at night during the winter months. Currency: The local currency unit is the Vatu (VT). You will need to exchange money into Vanuatu currency on arrival. All banks and resorts will exchange for you. Australian dollars are accepted at many places like supermarkets, restaurants and shops but the exchange rate will be poor. Most credit cards are accepted.

Driving: If you're thinking of driving yourself in Vanuatu, be careful. Cars travel on the right side of the road (as in the US) but give way to traffic on their right (as in Australia). It can be very confusing (just being a passenger). Local law permits visitors to drive in Vanuatu on an Australian driving license for up to 3 months. Taxis: Taxi's are everywhere and you will have no trouble finding one at the front door of your resort or anywhere in Port Vila. Buses (small vans seating about 10) are a little bit cheaper, but you may not go directly to where you want.

It is less than four hours flying time from Australia's east coast. The Vanuatu people are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality. The quality of the resorts available is the equivalent of resorts anywhere in the Pacific, although there are a limited number that cater well for families.
