  • Description

    Description

    The Met services have announced that monsoon this year is arriving earlier, in late October & not in November like usual.

    So. In 2027, we'll be needing volunteers please,from end February or March onwards to help with the beach clean up, & re setting the campsite. The turtles will start coming up in April onwards, hence the beach must be cleaned.


    Travellers, avoid the French Polynesian regions, regions surrounding Borneo & Indonesia. The tectonic plates are rubbing against each other. And volcanos below the ocean bed are brewing. Travel safe, live bold. Stay brave.
