He hana mana ia – ua ulu nui ka moʻomeheu ma Australia.

ʻAe ma ka liʻiliʻi ʻo ia ka manaʻo o nā helu.

No ka manawa mua, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā poʻe Australia e kipa aku iā Victoria no kahi hoʻomaha ma mua o Queensland.

Hōʻike ka ʻikepili i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e Tourism Research Australia i ke poʻo o NSW me 7.2 miliona mau malihini kipa ma 2008-09, a ukali ʻia e Victoria me 5.4 miliona a me Queensland me 5.1 miliona.

Manaʻo nā aliʻi mākaʻikaʻi Victorian i ka wā paʻakikī o ka hoʻokele waiwai, ua neʻe ka makemake o Australia i nā hoʻomaha pōkole e ʻike i nā hana moʻomeheu Victoria a haʻalele i nā mea hoʻonaninani kino o Queensland.

"ʻO ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hanana nui, nā hanana moʻomeheu, nā hale kūʻai, nā meaʻai a me ka waina ua manaʻo ʻia ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā mea e like me nā pāka kumuhana, Big Pineapples a me nā ʻano ʻano gee-whizzy," wahi a ke poʻo o ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā o Victorian Tourism Industry ʻo Anthony McIntosh.

Akā ua ʻae ʻo ia e hele mai nā malihini no ka manawa maikaʻi, ʻaʻole lōʻihi.

"Ua hoʻonoho ke kūʻai aku iā Victoria ma ke ʻano he wahi no nā lā hoʻomaha pōkole, kahi no nā hopena pule lepo," wahi āna.

“He wahi aloha, moʻomeheu, hoihoi e kipa aku no kahi noho pōkole. ʻAʻole noho ka poʻe ma ʻaneʻi no nā pule, hele mai lākou a noho no ka hopena pule a i ʻole ʻekolu a ʻehā lā.

"Hele lākou i nā mea e like me nā pāʻani keaka a me nā hanana haʻuki nui, nā huakaʻi mele, hele lākou i nā hale waina, hele lākou i nā hale ʻaina."

No ka laʻana, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka National Gallery of Victoria a me ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Melbourne i ka lehulehu no kā lākou hōʻikeʻike ʻana i ka mea pena kiʻi ʻo Salvador Dali a me nā neoneo o Pompeii.

"Eia hou, ua kaulana loa ka hōʻikeʻike me nā malihini mai Melbourne, Victoria regional, interstate a me nā ʻāina ʻē," wahi a Dr Vaughan.

He lā ma Pompeii ka moʻolelo o ke ola ma ke kūlanakauhale Roma kahiko i kanu ʻia e ka pele o ka mauna ʻo Vesuvius i ka lā 24 o ʻAukake, AD79. Hoʻopili ia i nā mea a pau mai ka meaʻai a me ka ʻai ʻana i ke kūʻai ʻana, ka lāʻau lapaʻau a me ka hoʻomana.

Ua ʻōlelo ka Luna Nui o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Victoria Dr Patrick Green ʻaʻohe kūlanakauhale kahiko i ʻike ʻia i piha a paʻa.

Akā, ua nalowale a poina a ʻike hou ʻia e ka poʻe kālaihonua i nā makahiki 1700.

ʻO ka mea hoihoi loa ka hoʻolei ʻia ʻana o ke kino, i hana ʻia ma ka ninini ʻana i ka hamo i loko o nā lua i waiho ʻia kahi i kanu ʻia ai ka poʻe i make i ka pele.
