Nauru deserted mansion


On Nauru a palatial mansion stands deserted and forlorn.   The place was huge, with massive balconies overlooking an incredible view of the ocean.  

Like so many of Nauru's stories, no one could tell me the real truth. Unsafe foundations, embezzled money, land disputes and a host of other stories surround the house.  One thing is obvious,  it was not inhabited for very long. 

It stands on what was originally the second Japanese airfield,  and the white crushed coral  sand are the remnants of the main runway.
