A private ‘biffy’ is joined to each bure, and a spacious stone-based shower opens to the sky. There was not a chance of going hungry or thirsty with the great restaurant and two bars after a day of expending energy at such activities as snorkelling in world-renowned coral reefs, shark diving, game fishing, white water rafting, or zip-lining. I chose ZipFiji for my adrenaline rush. Kitty fit me into a harness (his nick-name for seemingly having nine lives was hopefully not zip-line related). Mike gave me the simple instructions and soon I was “tree surfing”, gliding with wild abandon 30 metres above the emerald forest, whooshing from platform to platform, reaching speeds up to a thrilling 60 km/hour. Back at the Uprising I gazed across the bay at Beqa Island, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Irene Butler - Published in Today&#8217;s Senior News Magazine - The Firewalkers of Fiji have long baffled scientists with their feat. It is my chance to get to the bottom of this, so to speak, as the chief’s son Madigi obligingly raises his ample barefoot in front of my camera, while he and his two companions chuckle at my request. My wristwatch, mistakenly an hour fast, resulted in my early arrival at Pacific Harbour’s Arts Village and in a serendipitous encounter with this shy, lanky 22-year-old firewalker who had come out to the bleachers to meet his friends before the firewalk began. As Madigi leaves, he nods in agreement to my appeal for, “Another photo after the firewalk please.” The Island of Beqa (pronounced mbenga) the home of the legendary firewalkers looms off Pacific Harbour Bay of Viti Levu, the largest Fiji Island. Members of the Sawau Tribe of Beqa have for over 300 years been passed the uncanny ability to walk on scorching rocks from their forefathers. Spectators soon reach the rafters of the stands facing the large circular mound of rocks covered with blazing logs that had been heating the rocks for four hours.
