Land Forever Vanuatu

Land forever – Vanuatu
Irregular Y-shaped group of islands
Which house exotic birds, insects and bats
Active volcanoes give her some spice
Want to investigate a rain forest?
Come on down.

Land forever – Vanuatu
Sparse fauna
Three kind of bats found only on these islands
in the Pacific Ocean
Five hundred miles from Fiji
1100 miles from Australia

Land forever – Vanuatu
Where men gather at nakamal to drink kava
to communicate with their departed ancestors
through magical stones they contact the spirit world
But where are the wives?

They might as well - I did some reading; women are not mentioned.
