Many people have asked me - where is Kiribati ? Well, it's a small Pacific island nation about 2000km south of Hawaii with about 130,000 inhabitants who live predominantly on three main islands. Being a low-lying archipelago, Kiribati is facing a real existential threat in the form of rising sea levels caused my climate change. These are causing severe problems with coastal erosion and salination. Despite the best efforts of the local populace to build walls to hold back the ocean, plans are being to eventually relocate some of the inhabitant to Fiji or other parts of the Pacific.
However, Kiribatans like Kaibeia have been coming to Tasmania for different reasons - to work on local oyster farms on Tasmania's east coast. Kaibeia and his colleagues were recruited under the Pacific Islander Labour Mobility scheme ( PALM ), which has brought workers from 7 different Pacific nations to work on farms in Australia, with many hundreds working on different farms around Tasmania.
Kiribati has similarities with many of the other Pacific Islands, with their culture of sharing and collectivism, as well as their love of singing, but Kaibeia also talks about cutting toddy, a kind of sap from the bark of a palm tree used to make a delicious sweet local drink.
