Internationally-renowned Australian singer Paulini Curuenavuli was recently in Fiji and chose to spend her holiday at the Outrigger on the Lagoon. The 26-year-old singer, who is a native of Fiji, was accompanied by her manager.

While here, Ms. Curuenavuli took the time to immerse herself in many of the outdoor activities available along the Coral Coast, including a safari trip along the Sigatoka River. She also mingled with the staff and management of the resort, as well other guests.

Ms. Curuenavuli rose to stardom after her stint on Australian Idol, a show that exposes singing and entertainment talents Down Under. Despite not being one of the top three on the show, her career as a singer and songwriter was enhanced when she became a member of the group Young Divas, which was made up of four talented female singers.

She discovered further success as a solo artist and has since gone on to be the sixth highest-selling Australian Idol solo artist.
