Please note that as of mid-2005 the web pages of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre are now located at http://www.vanuatuculture.org.
From 1863 until 1906 there were 40,000 ni-Vanuatu (at that time New Hebrides) men and women who went to work as 'contract labour' on the sugar plantations in Queensland. At that time 10,000 ni-Vanuatu also went to work down 'La Mine', in the mines of New Caledonia, and some went to plantations in Fiji and Samoa.
These pages are extracted from a book produced by the Vanuatu Cultural Centre.
