Lyrics

[00:15.57] The South Pacific Islands are the most isolated in the world.
[00:25.00] Some are more than 4,000 miles from the nearest continent.
[00:33.43] The odds against any life reaching these islands,
[00:36.81] and flourishing, were once minute.
[00:42.76] But no matter how remote they may be,
[00:45.54] all have been colonised,
[00:50.45] first by plants and animals and then by humans.
[00:58.41] So who were those castaways
[01:00.23] and how did they ever reach these far-flung islands?
