I'm entering the South end of the island. This is an area that has been hit hard in the last decade. Both the macadamia nut industry and the sugar cane farms in this area lost to South American farms, putting everyone out of work. In parts of the southern tip, locals tough guys are known to be hostile to outsiders. Some of the land here has been under contention for decades and still is today. One of the funny things about this area is a cluster of houses called HOVE, which you can see on the map as the matrix sliced into the rainforest.
