Motusa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Motusa is a group of close villages in the district of Itu'ti'u, on the island of Rotuma, one of the islands of Fiji. Rotuma is made up of two volcanic masses connected by a sandy isthmus; Motusa is located on this isthmus. It consists of the villages of Elsio, Else'e, Uanheta, Mofmanu and Fapufa. Motusa is about a kilometer southwest of Ahau, the government station, which is also the location of the island's post office, and small hospital. Ahau is now the administrative center of Rotuma, although for a long time Motusa, being the largest settlement, and one of the best moorings, was the centre of most business transactions and industry.
