How did the mongoose make its way to the shores of Fiji?
This morning, Jacob posed a Pacific Mystery - how did the mongoose make its way to the shores of Fiji?
The mongoose, originally from South and Central Asia, was introduced to Fiji by colonists to control rats in sugar cane plantations, but has since thrived — and even multiplied — on the islands, with two species now calling Fiji home.
Also in the program, we spoke with award-winning journalist and budding sports commentator, Jamie Haro who at only 20 years old, has already accumulated a long list of career milestones across PNG's media landscape in print, online, and national broadcast television.
And we also checked in with our Port Authority in Vanuatu, Moses Cakau Willie about what's on for the kids during the school holiday period.
