From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Honiara, population 49,107 (1999), is the capital city of the Solomon Islands and of Guadalcanal Province.
The town is located on the island of Guadalcanal, and was built to replace the former capital of Tulagi at the end of World War II. Honiara became the capital of the Solomon Islands in 1952. The town revolves around the Kukum Highway, which connects Henderson field in the east of Honiara with the White River in the west, and passes the hospital Nambanaen and the recently burned down Chinatown. Honiara has a dock from which ships depart to other provinces. The gardens of the National Art Gallery are popular for afternoon strolls.
