 * Vanuatu** is an independent Republic in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, bordering on the Coral Sea about 2,400 kilometers northwest of Australia.

Port Vila is the capital of Vanuatu and has an estimated population of 40,000 people.

The archipelago, formerly known as the New Hebrides under joint British and French governance until Independence in 1980, is made up of more than 80 islands of volcanic and uplifted coral origins. 65 of these islands are inhabited.

Nguna and Pele islands are located off the North coast of Vanuatu's principal island of Efate, easily reachable on a day trip from the capital city of Port Vila.
