Ravali is a small island located in the Pacific Ocean. There are two villages on the island, Rima on

The only link between the two villages is a walking track. The walking track crosses the river Vai’i
over a bridge
* The river Vai’i flows from a lake near the centre of the island.
* On the eastern shore is a boathouse.
* A lighthouse has been built on the west coast to warn ships away from the dangerous rocks
along that coast. There is a rainforest on the northeast of the island.
