Nananu-i-Cake (iː ðɑːˈkeː ) is an island in Fiji about one kilometer off the coast of the main island of Viti Levu, near the town of Rakiraki in Ra Province. Nananu-i-Cake is located immediately next to the island of Nananu-i-Ra. Nananu-i-Cake and Mabua (the islet located immediately to the southeast) islands are about 600 acres (242.81 ha or 2,225,780 square meters) in area. The island's name, Nananu-i-Cake, means "Daydream Upwind" (or easterly) in Fijian. The island is also known by several other names, including Ananugata, Nananugata, Yananu and Nananu-i-Thake Island. The main residence on the island was designed by the architecture firm of Murray Cockburn, based in Auckland.〔 A deep-water jetty is on the island's western shore. == History == In 1974, Sir Harold Mitchell visited Fiji from the UK and purchased Nananu-i-Cake and Mabua as a retreat. Because of Harold's position of Vice-Chairman of the Conservative Party under Sir Winston Churchill and his social and political standing, several high-profile dignitaries visited and stayed on the island. Commemorative trees were planted for many of these high-profile visits. Nananu-i-Cake has remained in Sir Harold Mitchell's family since 1974. Nananu-i-Cake also retains evidence of ''moka,'' stone formations built in tidal areas to trap fish at lot tide, and ring-wall fortifications built with volcanic rocks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nananu-i-Cake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
