180° East or West? - The Antimeridian

Bula! With this Fijian salutation we'd like to welcome you to this really unique place in the world (if you are interested in coordinate systems, but geocachers should be anyway...). What makes this place so unique? It's the Antimeridian (or the 180th meridian). It's the opposite of the Meridian which goes through Greenwich in the UK. Both go from pole to pole. Each of them is a half circle on the Earth's surface. Together they are a great circle orthogonal to the equator. This place on Taveuni is the only place in the whole world where the Antimeridian is on land and crosses a road close to houses. With this adventure explore some places on Taveuni related to the Antimeridian.
