They are a remote archipelago of several low-lying coral islands situated in Milne Bay province, hundreds of miles east of the eastern tip of Papua New Guinea. The main island is Bodaluna Island, called Bodelun Island on Google Earth. The islanders are skilled traditional canoe builders and live by subsistence gardening and fishing. The islands are the furthest eastern point of the Kula Ring, which I have discussed before here: <a href="http://goo.gl/pVnCiw">http://goo.gl/pVnCiw</a><br /> <br /> Several more photos of the islanders and the islands can be seen here, and I'll post a few more tomorrow: <a href="http://goo.gl/W2CPS7">http://goo.gl/W2CPS7</a><br /> <br /> 23/10/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
