Canoe Racing, Fiji | c. 1920

A beautiful glimpse into Fiji’s maritime traditions from around a century ago.

Canoes have long played an important role in Fijian life — connecting communities, supporting travel and fishing, and reflecting generations of knowledge of the ocean and waterways. 🌊🇫

The photograph was published as part of The Rose Series de Luxe, produced in Australia, and is part of the New York Public Library's digital collections.

🌧️ Wet Season — November to April
This is when Fiji experiences warmer temperatures, higher humidity, and more rainfall. Tropical showers can come and go quickly, keeping the islands lush and green. 🌿

☀️ Dry Season — May to October
The weather is generally cooler and drier, with plenty of sunshine and lower humidity. It's also a popular time to enjoy Fiji's beaches and beautiful outdoors! 🏝️

But of course, Fiji's tropical weather can vary from island to island, so you never quite know when a little rain might roll through! 🌦️

💬 Which season do you prefer — sunny and dry or warm and rainy? 🇫🇯
