Nauru is a tiny oval shaped island north-east of Australia. It is seated approximately 42 kilometres south of the equator.
A coral reef surrounds the entire island which is dotted with pinnacles.
Population – approx. 10,000 including non-Nauruan population of approx. 1,000
The resumption of phosphate mining and exporting in 2005 gave Nauru’s economy a much needed boost. The secondary deposits of phosphate have an estimated remaining life of about 30 years.
