Nasea town was a village at the time, with an earth road having deep side drains. During the spring tide you could fish in the middle of the commercial sites which were surrounded by cane, rice, coconut and cattle farms.
At present site of the Civic Centre were four bure houses occupied by James McCober family and the site was covered with Tiri patches and at high tide the area could be classed as lowland swamp.
There was no water supply, electricity or telephone services. People used well and tank water, kerosene hurricane lamps, and horses were the means of transportation.
There were few stores scattered in the area, all of whom were facing the CSR tramline which was the main highway in those days.
