Vanuatu (previously known as the New Hebrides Islands) is an archipelago nation consisting of 83 islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean, north of New Zealand and east of Australia.
The prehistory of Vanuatu is obscure; archaeological evidence supports the commonly held theory that peoples speaking Austronesian languages first came to the islands some 4,000 years ago. Pottery fragments have been found dating back to 1300–1100 BC.
The first island in the Vanuatu group discovered by Europeans was Espiritu Santo, when in 1606 the Portuguese explorer Pedro Fernandes de Queirós working for the Spanish crown, spied what he thought was a southern continent. Europeans did not return until 1768. In 1774, Captain Cook named the islands the New Hebrides, a name that lasted until independence.
During the 1860s, planters in Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia, and the Samoa Islands, in need of laborers, encouraged a long-term indentured labor trade called "blackbirding". At the height of the labor trade, more than one-half the adult male population of several of the Islands worked abroad. Fragmentary evidence indicates that the current population of Vanuatu is greatly reduced compared to pre-contact times.
The British and French agreed in 1906 to an Anglo-French Condominium. Challenges to this form of government began in the early 1940s. The arrival of Americans during World War II, with their informal demeanor and relative wealth, was instrumental in the rise of nationalism in the islands. The belief in a mythical messianic figure named John Frum was the basis for an indigenous cargo cult (a movement attempting to obtain industrial goods through magic) promising Melanesian deliverance. Today, John Frum is both a religion and a political party with a member in Parliament.
In 1980, amidst the brief Coconut War, the independent Republic of Vanuatu was created. During the 1990s Vanuatu experienced political instability which eventually resulted in a more decentralized government. The Vanuatu Mobile Force, a paramilitary group, attempted a coup in 1996 because of a pay dispute. New elections have been called for several times since 1997, most recently in 2004.
European settlers released several saltwater crocodiles on the island, although today's population on the island officially stands at 2 or 3 medium-sized individuals on the Banks Islands and no breeding has been observed. Despite its proximity to Papua New Guinea, crocodiles do not naturally occur on Vanuatu.
With such a large north-south area, Vanuatu has all the tropical variances possible. From hot and humid in the north, to mild and dry in the south. The Capital Port Vila on Efate can expect 27°C in July to 30°C in January. Nights can drop to 12°C. Humidity from December to February is around 82% and 70% around July.
Rainfall from January to April is around 300mm per month - for the rest of the year around 200mm per month. The Banks Islands in the top North can receive above 4,000mm of rain in a year, yet the southern islands may receive less than 2,000mm.
Cyclones are natural phenomena to understand and respect. Mainstream tourism facilities are solidly built and experienced in cyclone management. Cyclones appear (in varying degrees with plenty of warning) on an average every couple of years from December to March. By following instructions given by the local authorities, you will be in no danger. Yachties commonly avoid cyclones from Nov through April. There are no effective cyclone holes for any size of ship in Vanuatu. Yachties typically leave to north of the equator, New Caledonia, New Zealand or Australia. There is a small boatyard in Port Vila with haulout facilities for yachts.
Tourism peaks in the months of July to December. The months of January to June are the quietest. Experienced travellers take advantage of these tourism troughs to travel, as airlines, accommodation providers and other tourism related businesses discount heavily during this period.
The months of January to June are a little more humid, but cooled by the occasional tropical downpour. The added bonus is that in this period, tourism numbers are low. You have more opportunities to mingle with locals and aimlessly do your own thing instead of being rushed by the crowd (except when cruise ships are in Port).
Vanuatu retains a strong diversity through local regional variants and foreign influence. In the north, wealth is established by how much one can give away. Pigs, particularly those with rounded tusks are considered a symbol of wealth throughout Vanuatu. More traditional Melanesian cultural systems dominate in the central region.
The islands of Vanuatu are grouped into six geographic provinces, the names formed by combining the first syllables or letters of the major islands in each.
Matthew and Hunter are uninhabited islands South East of Aneityum. Aneityum people believe that the islands are in their historical territory. Aneityum appears to have provided the ancestors of the people of New Caledonia and there are cultural links particularly with the Loyalty Islands.
A long list of countries are exempted from visas [1], which includes all Commonwealth and EU Member countries. All visitors must have a passport valid for a further 4 months and an onward ticket. On arrival, you will be allowed an initial stay of up to 30 days, extended one month at a time for up to 4 months.
Subsequent 11 night cruises explore the Banks Islands, then the isolated islands of central Vanuatu, depart from Port Vila via Tanna island to New Caledonia on 19 Oct.
The main international airport is in Port-Vila (IATA: VLI):
Port-Vila's runway is crumbling and in poor condition despite attempts at temporary repair. As of 2016, Qantas has withdrawn its code shares for all Air Vanuatu flights to Australia; Air New Zealand has also pulled out of Port-Vila. Virgin Australia suspended service to Port-Vila twice in 2016, but has resumed advertising flights to Brisbane (BNE).
Some alternatives to Port-Vila include:
There are a few charter airlines, these are Unity Airlines, Sea Air and Air Safaris, however the national airline Air Vanuatu operates the domestic network.
Within Vanuatu, several companies provide boating service between the islands. These include Fresh Cargo, Ifira Shipping Agencies and Toara Coastal Shipping.
In Port Vila the buses are mini vans seating about 10 people, which largely traverse the main road and go and stop where you would like them to go. Wave at them to stop one heading in the direction you want to go. They are plentiful within the city and outside the city you can usually arrange for a bus to meet you at a particular time. If one looks full, just wait for the next one. The buses are used by locals, but are very friendly, cheap, and easy to use by tourists. Fare is usually calculated per person. The cost is usually 150 vatu per person anywhere around Port Vila. If you are travelling a longer distance, the fare may rise to 300 - 500 vatu per person.
Taxis are plentiful within Port Vila. Fare is calculated per taxi.
There are three official languages: English, French and Bislama. Bislama is a pidgin language – and now a creole in urban areas – which essentially combines a typically Melanesian grammar with a mostly English vocabulary. It is the only language that can be understood and spoken by the whole population of Vanuatu, generally as a second language.
It is a mixture of phonetic English woven in a loose French sentence structure spoken with 'local sound' producing some comical outcomes e.g., ladies brassieres or bathing top is called "Basket blong titi"; no offense intended. An excellent Bislama dictionary is available from good book shops: 'A New Bislama Dictionary,' by the late Terry Crowley. Some common Bislama words/phrases include:
In addition, 113 indigenous languages are still actively spoken in Vanuatu. The density of languages per capita is the highest of any nation in the world, with an average of only 2000 speakers per language. All of these vernacular languages belong to the Oceanic branch of the Austronesian family.
Vanuatu is not on the average traveller's destination wish list. Except perhaps for those with a love for scuba diving, as divers have discovered the underwater treasures of this South Pacific archipelago a long time ago. However, even if you don't plan on touching this country's bright blue waters, it's a colourful mix of traditional Melanesian culture, friendly people, beautiful tropical beaches, active volcanoes and all the modern day facilities you'll need to have a great time.
The many islands rimmed with perfect sandy beaches offer lovely Pacific views. The Bank Islands boast great beaches combined with rugged terrain. On the largest of the Banks Islands, Gaua, you'll find the Siri Waterfall, which gets its water from the country's biggest crater lake: Lake Letas. Head to the island of Tanna to see Mount Yasur, the world's most accessible active volcano. A tourist favourite, Tanna is also home to waterfalls and men in penis sheaths and grass skirts. If you get the chance, stay to witness one of their ancient festivals or rituals.
Efate is the place where most travellers will begin their encounter with Vanuatu and home to the country's friendly little capital, Port-Vila. It strives to bring the best of the archipelago together and is the go-to place for fine wining and dining.
Other places well worth visiting include Aoba Island (known for the crater lakes on top of the large volcano that defines the islands) and Pentecost (the spiritual birthplace of bungee jumping). Last but not least, the active volcanoes, lava lakes and local villagers' artwork are a good reason to stay in one of the traditional style bungalows on Ambrym.
The local currency is the Ni-Vanuatu vatu (VT). (ISO currency code: VUV). There are notes for 200 VT, 500 VT, 1000 VT, and 5000 VT, while coins include 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 VT pieces.
Credit and debit cards on the major networks (Cirrus, Maestro, etc.) are accepted by many businesses in town.
ATMs are available in Port Vila, and include the Australian banks ANZ and Westpac. The National Bank of Vanuatu has a branch at the airport and is open for all flight arrivals. Otherwise, banking hours are from 8:30AM to 3PM.
Tipping is not expected in Vanuatu, nor is haggling or bargaining; it is not the custom and only encourages a "master-servant" relationship. However gifts are very appreciated and the exchange of gifts for services rendered fits well into the local traditions (western governments have a hard time coming to terms with this practice as it is interpreted as bribery and corruption. But in the Melanesian culture, this practice is a normal way to do business...well the White Man introduced that "Cash" stuff).
A bag of rice to a village chief may be received with gratitude and dignity, but to offer triple the value in cash may be regarded as patronising, plus it will artificially inflate the price for the next traveller; set wrong expectation, and rapidly destroy the genuine spontaneous friendship so easily given to you.
A nice gesture is to give phone cards or a T-shirt, or school pads, pens, etc., for the children. Plenty of kids here! We naturally don't recommend lollies and the like as it only encourages junk food dependency plus giving cash to local men may often be spent at the Kava bar and of no benefit to his family. If you have to give cash, ensure it is given to women, preferably mothers who generally control the family budget. The introduction of Poker machines has certainly not helped the situation considering these places are for the most part frequented by local people (mostly men) who can ill afford to waste their small wages in this way.
There are two market areas along the foreshore in Port Vila. The main market sells mostly food, and you can find all kinds of local produce there. Further north, near the beach, there is a row of grass-roofed market stalls that sell clothing, bags, sarongs and other items.
The woven grass bags and mats are widely available and very attractive.
There are many restaurants and eateries in Port Vila, ranging from up-market places catering to tourists and expats, to more low-key establishments. The approximate cost of lunch would be around the 1000-1500 vatu range, depending on where and what you eat. Some examples of prices:
The traditional dish which you will most likely be offered once during your stay is a root vegetable cake called lap lap. Essentially this is either manioc (cassava), sweet potato, taro or yam shaved into the middle of a banana leaf with island cabbage and sometimes a chicken wing on top. This is all wrapped up into a flat package and then cooked in hot stones underground till it all melts together into a cake. The best place to pick up some of this is at the food market in the town centre and should cost you about 100 vatu.
This is a variation of lap lap with the cake rolled into a cylinder with meat in the middle. It tastes a lot like a sausage roll. You can find these again in the market (usually from mele village people) but they will be served from foam boxes to keep them warm.
Vanuatu's meat is renowned in the region. At the airports you will see signs reminding you to pack the 25kg of meat permitted to other nearby island nations. The reason the meat's so good is that it's all naturally grown, with no feedlots or other problems of westernised mass production. The result of this is that the steaks are very good indeed.
As you may expect from an island nation, seafood is a common option and the quality is generally excellent. Reef fish are commonly found in restaurants, along with many varieties of prawns, lobster and the delectable coconut crab.
The coconut crab is only found in parts of the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, and has been declining in numbers so rapidly that it is now a protected species in most areas. There is a minimum legal size requirement in Vanuatu of four centimetres, but the creature can grow to over 8 cm in length with a leg span of up to 90 cm. The crab gets its name from the fact that it climbs palms to cut down and eat coconuts - nothing to do with the flavour.
Kava is a local drink, made from the roots of the plant Piper methysticum, a type of pepper. Kava is intoxicating, but not like alcohol. Its effects are sedative. Some travellers have experienced a hangover from its consumption.
Kava is consumed in private homes and in local venues called Nakamal. Some of the resorts also offer kava on occasion for travellers to try.
Kava is served in a "shell" or small bowl. Drink the whole shell-ful down steadily, then spit. It's handy to have a soft drink on hand to rinse with afterwards, as the taste of kava is strong and not very pleasant.
It is worth noting that the kava available in Vanuatu is generally a much stronger variety than the kava found in other pacific islands such as Fiji, where it is comparatively mild. Four or five large shells in a typical kava bar will leave the inexperienced drinker reeling (or worse) after a couple of hours, and it can take a day to recover.
Good advice to experience kava as pleasantly as possible is to go with an experienced drinker and follow their lead, take the small shells, and stop after an hour and a half. It's quite easy to find a local kava drinking buddy, just ask around your hotel and you'll find volunteers - maybe at the cost of a shell or two.
Kava bars (or Nakamals) are normally dark places with very dim or no lighting at all. This is because bright lights and kava intoxication do not go together well - so be careful with flash photography, which may not be received very well in such venues.
Alcoholic beverages are also widely available. Resorts, bars, and restaurants serving tourists have a wide range of drinks available. The local beers are called "Tusker" and "Vanuatu Bitter".
There is a choice of all levels of accommodation.
When visiting other islands or villages outside of the cities, there are many small guest houses that charge around 2000 VT per night and offer full service (meals, laundry, etc.).
Many of the motels in Port Vila and Luganville also fall into the budget category, with prices around 2000 VT per night. There are a number of websites which list such motels.
There are many charitable organisations and NGOs operating in Vanuatu, and a strong community of volunteers in the area. If you are interested in volunteering in Vanuatu, the following organisations place volunteers there:
Many people from overseas work in Vanuatu, either running their own businesses or employed by others.
Generally speaking, work permits are only available for positions where there are not enough ni-Vanuatu to meet demand.
Vanuatu is, on the whole, a safe and friendly environment. You are unlikely to encounter any trouble unless you do something extremely provocative, though crime rates are said to be increasing, particularly in Port Vila at night. Take the same precautions you would anywhere else.
There are no seriously poisonous snakes, spiders, or insects on Vanuatu. However, there are various poisonous aquatic animals that you should beware of if you are swimming, snorkeling, or diving in the area. The most dangerous of these is the stonefish. Saltwater crocodiles are present, but the likelihood of an attack is minimal.
It is advisable to be immunised against Hepatitis A and B and typhoid fever before visiting Vanuatu.
Malaria is endemic within some areas of Vanuatu, but not Port-Vila. If you are venturing outside the resort areas, check with your doctor before you travel. Malaria may not be endemic but you may come in contact with mosquito carriers and visitors from outer islands who have malaria - particularly in the wet season and at the hospital. Dengue Fever is also mosquito vectored in Port Vila and elsewhere particularly in the wet season. Be familiar with the symptoms as there is no cure all for Dengue and Malaria symptoms are intermittent leading to misdiagnosis. Many local clinics in the outer islands can test you for Malaria - so find out where they are. Malaria preventative drugs have side effects which can cause problems in the sun, scuba diving, general stability and digestion.
Tap water in Port Vila is clean and potable, but is best avoided elsewhere. {check with local consumers}. Bottled water is not available outside the main cities. Fizzy drinks but not beer may be available outside the main cities. In 10 years of travelling and living in remoter areas of Vanuatu this writer only heard of one yachtie getting Giardiasis after using local water {with permission}. However the water supply situation is getting more acute due to tourism, cattle raising, rapidly rising population etc. Doctors used to treating common traveller problems are available in Port-Vila and Luganville. Any more serious problems may require some form of medical evacuation.
Be careful of any small cuts, scratches, or other sores you receive while travelling in Vanuatu. As in most tropical areas, small sores can easily become infected if you don't practice proper hygiene. Most of these things require common sense. However the Sea Water in Vanuatu will not heal your cuts, regular wetting will make the situation tragically and rapidly worse requiring intravenous anti-biotics and possible amputation. Iodine solution does not work and is alleged to make the situation worse. Mercuro-Chrome [Cumulative Poison] and Gentian Violet are better.
Throughout Vanuatu, and especially outside of Port Vila in the villages, life is strongly influenced by "kastom" -- a set of traditional customs and taboos that apply to all kinds of matters. Be aware of this, and respect locals' requests with regard to "kastom".
When visiting villages, women should dress modestly, wearing clothes that cover the shoulders and knees.
Christian religion is very strong. It seems common to invite and welcome visitors to attend local church services on a Sunday
Revealing and sexy clothing (especially wearing beach wear in the capital) is not advisable, as over 100 years of missionary work has had its effect on the perception of what is considered as respectable attire in the islands. Regardless, it's considered disrespectful to the local people and can be interpreted by some indigenous inhabitants as an invitation for sex.
As Vanuatu is not a 'fashion conscious' place no-one will notice or care if you were wearing the latest from 'the Paris Collection' or not. You are best off bringing a practical tropical wardrobe such as light cotton summer clothes that are easy to hand wash, a 'sloppy joe' pullover and a lightweight waterproof wind jacket. If planning to go to the outer islands, bring a good flashlight (with spare batteries, you will use them!), lightweight, walking shoes, sandals or good thongs (flip flops/croks) for wet weather and old clothes.
Tip: When exploring the outer islands take all the older clothes you can carry, wear them and give them away to the islanders when you are finished wearing them. You and your children will be aptly rewarded in other ways. Instead of dumping your worn clothes in a charity collection bin at your local shopping centre and never knowing who really receives these (if they ever do...), your children will interact with the very people who would be the recipients of those clothes (most NiVanuatu people buy these second hand clothes from shops in Port Vila).
Sharing and giving is a natural course of daily life in Vanuatu. The T-shirt you give to one person will be worn by all his friends as well. Three T-shirts on top of each other will be their winter outfit.... You will provide them things that are hard for them to obtain, save them the expense of buying clothes (basic wages are quite low in Vanuatu) and you will depart with priceless memories, plus have more in your luggage for purchased local arts and crafts
Communicating With NiVanuatu people:
The Vanuatu people are a delight to photograph, friendly, co-operative and photogenic especially the children who are simply gorgeous. Yes, they love to be photographed but please do not offer to pay to photograph local people as this will quickly discourage spontaneity and encourage commercialisation. Always ask before taking photos of local people.
In some cases, some people may be reluctant to be photographed for reasons that you may never know. It is prudent to enquire as to the fee for photographing cultural festivities as they are sometimes very high. The reasoning behind this is they put on the show, people take photos and make money selling these photos of their show - so they want to be paid accordingly (makes sense). Shooting an exploding volcano at night calls for min 800 asa setting and a tripod is essential for good images.
The international country code for Vanuatu is +678. To dial overseas from within Vanuatu dial 00 followed by the relevant country code and phone number.
Emergency phone numbers: Ambulance (22-100); Fire (22-333); and Police (22-222).
Vanuatu has GSM mobile coverage in Port-Vila and most GSM mobile phones roam seamlessly. You can buy special visitor SIM cards from TVI [2], which offer considerable discounts over roaming charges. Available at any post office.
International Roaming from New Zealand and Australia is available. Telecom Vanuatu has a package called 'Smile Visitor' which consists of a sim card with a pre-purchased credit. This can be purchased at the Vanuatu Telecom Office in town. Telephone: +678 081111. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Or with the new player's Digicel, giving Telecom some overdue competition. Digicel have made themselves very visible, and can be found everywhere. They have a bunch of different cheap plans for you.
Internet cafes can be found in Luganville & Port-Vila. You may also find that some post offices will also provide some kind of Internet facilities, and can be found on the main streets in Port-Vila and Luganville as well as on Espiritu Santo.
Postal services to mainland Europe can take up to 7 days. You can send letters and postcards from mailboxes in the streets, however the incoming postal service can be patchy, especially for parcels, so don't rely on people sending you things while you're staying in Vanuatu.

Caravanistan (The Silk Road Travel Guide) Book Review
With The Sex Lives of Cannibals, Maarten Troost established himself as one of the most engaging and original travel writers around. Getting Stoned with Savages again reveals his wry wit and infectious joy of discovery in a side-splittingly funny account of life in the farthest reaches of the world. After two grueling years on the island of Tarawa, battling feral dogs, machete-wielding neighbors, and a lack of beer on a daily basis, Maarten Troost was in no hurry to return to the South Pacific. But as time went on, he realized he felt remarkably out of place among the trappings of twenty-first-century America. When he found himself holding down a job—one that might possibly lead to a career—he knew it was time for him and his wife, Sylvia, to repack their bags and set off for parts unknown.Getting Stoned with Savages tells the hilarious story of Troost's time on Vanuatu—a rugged cluster of islands where the natives gorge themselves on kava and are still known to "eat the man." Falling into one amusing misadventure after another, Troost struggles against typhoons, earthquakes, and giant centipedes and soon finds himself swept up in the laid-back, clothing-optional lifestyle of the islanders. When Sylvia gets pregnant, they decamp for slightly-more-civilized Fiji, a fallen paradise where the local chiefs can be found watching rugby in the house next door. And as they contend with new parenthood in a country rife with prostitutes and government coups, their son begins to take quite naturally to island living—in complete contrast to his dad.

The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Violent crime in Vanuatu is low, but petty crime is prevalent. Ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times.
Do not visit beaches or other isolated areas alone. This is particularly important for women. Consult our publication entitled Her Own Way: A Woman's Safe-Travel Guide for travel safety information specifically aimed at Canadian women.
Public disturbances occur on occasion. Avoid demonstrations and closely monitor local developments.
The islands of Efate and Santo have paved roads. Roads in all other areas are unpaved or dirt tracks. The speed limit is 50 kilometres per hour.
Taxis may be hailed on the street and are metered. Minibuses are also available.

Auburn, Ala.--It was a record setting performance for 2018 Beauregard running back Ladamian Webb on Thursday night as he carried the ball 51 times for 365 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Hornets to their first-ever state title with a 33-13 victory over Wenonah at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Entering the game with 2,883 yards and 42 touchdowns, Webb's five scores pushed him to 47 on the year and broke the single-season record of 46 in Alabama. He finished the year with 3,248 yards on the ground, good enough for second in a single year trailing only Jamarius Henderson's 3,483 set two years ago.
The first half was all about momentum and Beauregard captured it first, forcing a fumble on the opening kickoff to put Webb in business. All it took was two plays for the speedy running back to find the end zone from 25 yards out to put the Hornets up 7-0 early.
Forcing a stop on defense, Beauregard got the ball back on offense and moved it deep into Wenonah territory before quarterback K.J. Holmes scrambled and fumbled the ball into the open field. Ultra-quick Telvin Miller was Johnny-on-the-spot for the Dragons, scooping the ball and racing 74 yards for the touchdown to tie the game.
Late in the first half Beauregard was again threatening but a Webb fumble at the 20 gave Wenonah life and they responded. With Rogers leading the way the Dragons drove 51 yards to the Beauregard 15 before he hit Anthony Hudson on a 15-yard touchdown strike. The extra point failed to leave it 13-7. A short field goal miss by the Hornets brought the half to a close with Wenonah up six.
Taking advantage of good field position to open the second half, Beauregard grabbed the momentum back from Wenonah on the shoulders of Webb. Going 69 yards on 10 plays with the junior doing much of the damage, the Hornets got the second TD of the night from the talented back to take a 14-13 lead.
Facing a fourth down on the Beauregard 46 with just over five minutes left in the third quarter, Wenonah rolled the dice and came up empty when Rogers was stopped just short of the first down. The Hornets would go 54 yards in 15 plays to break the game open with Webb again doing the damage one yard out.
That would signal the onslaught as Webb's fourth score with just over five minutes remaining gave Beauregard a two touchdown advantage. The junior put the nail in the coffin of the Dragons just three minutes later when he broke a 40-yard run to put the finishing touches on a night of celebration for the Hornets.

Didn't know what to call this. On each arm opening there are little pieces of thread that are hanging off. They are not affecting the actual thread line. If you used a lighter you could quickly and easily burn them off. Does not appear in any way to affect the integrity of the shirt.

Third-seeded Ohio State, which ended the regular season ranked ninth, trailed by two at the half but saw the second-seeded Cardinal methodically build a double-digit lead in the first seven minutes of the second half in front of 6,178 at Haas Pavilion.
Jayne Appel made a layup and drew Ohio State star Jantel Lavender's fourth foul then made the ensuing free throw to put the Cardinal ahead 53-42 with 12:58 to go.
That sent Lavender to the bench, but the Buckeyes (29-6) remained game for a while.
OSU point guard Samantha Prahalis made two free throws and then a pull-up jumper to begin a 10-4 run that pulled the Buckeyes within three at 57-54, but then Appel made a hook shot to push the deficit back to five.
After Sarah Schulze made a free throw for Ohio State, the Cardinal scored six in a row to go back up by 10 before the Buckeyes' last significant thrust.
Schulze made a layup then the Buckeyes made 5 of 6 free throws to draw within four at 66-62 with 5:39 to go.
After a defensive stop, Ohio State had a chance to make it a one-possession game, but Allen threw the ball away for a turnover.
At the other end, Appel scored to push the advantage back to six, and the Cardinal scarcely looked back: Stanford finished the game on an 18-4 run.
That the first 35 minutes were so closely contested was largely a testament to the talent and tenacity of Prahalis, who willed the Buckeyes to basket after basket, whether she was driving to the basket, hitting pull-up jumpers with unusual efficiency or finding her teammates for scores.
The freshman phenom finished with a team-high 19 points, six assists and two steals.
Lavender, the two-time Big Ten player of the year, was limited to 28 minutes because of foul trouble and posted 15 points.
Bettering her was Appel, her 6-4 counterpart at center for the Cardinal who finished with a game-high 25 points and 11 rebounds.
Perhaps more importantly, Appel got support in the frontcourt from 6-1 forward Jillian Harmon (16 points) and 6-2 Nnemkadi Ogwumike (15 points).
Down the stretch, the Cardinal buried the Buckeyes in the paint, and Ohio State could not offset their disadvantage there with bombs from the perimeter.
Ohio State missed 7 of 10 three-point attempts, getting all three makes from sophomore Sarah Schulze, who came off the bench to score 12 points.
She had two of those treys in the first half, the second being the first basket in a five-point mini-run that allowed Ohio State to briefly take a one-point lead.
Prahalis followed Schulze's trey with a pull-up jumper to put the Buckeyes ahead 31-30 with almost four minutes left before halftime.
Next the OSU point guard appeared to extend the lead to three after she made a steal and raced to the other end. She made a layup and collided with solidly built 6-4 Stanford forward Kayla Pedersen under the basket, but while the official nearest the play signaled a blocking foul on Pedersen, the one trailing the play from a greater distance whistled an offensive foul on the 5-7 Prahalis.
That wiped out the basket and sent Prahalis to the bench with her second foul and 3:36 left in the half.
By that time, Prahalis had scored 12 points and handed out three assists while looking perhaps more aggressive than she had all season.
The teams traded the lead six times in the last 3 1/2 with the Cardinal taking a 37-35 lead into the locker room thanks to a deep trey by Lindy La Rocque with just under a minute to go.
Stanford, the national runner-up last season, improved to 32-4 and extended its winning streak to 19 games.
The Cardinal advance to face No. 4 Iowa State, which rallied late to beat Michigan State in the first semifinal of the evening. The regional final is Monday night.

McSweeney IMPRESSED WITH HIS VICTORY
James McSweeney (11-10) made an impact heard around the world when he knocked out Blackzillian's and Strikeforce veteran Dion Staring in 39 seconds with a head kick at CFA 10.
McSweeney was impressed with his performance. Both men fought in the main event.
"I knew I could finish him in the first round, but not under a minute," he said in an interview on The Roman Show.
The UFC veteran said this is a good victory for his career.
"It was a good finish for me," he said.
The kick is something that is second nature for him.
"I have been doing Thai boxing for years," he said. "I always do that to see if the guy knows his defense. Does he defend the low kick, the body or the head?"
As far as fighting in CFA again, he said he is more than happy too.
"(CFA CEO) Jorge De La Noval has my number so let's see what happens," he said. "I am a man of my word, if I come to fight than I'll come to fight."
He also praised CFA.
"He puts on a great show and he is doing great things," he said. "So, I am happy to come out and represent."
Watch the entire interview here.

The Poachers moved up to fourth in the United Counties League after a Jack Wightwich hat-trick clinched a ding-dong tussle.
They bounced back from two heavy defeats to make it three league wins out of four so far this season.
Town got off to another poor start when Star took a fifth minute lead through Jacob Joyce.
But Wightwick grabbed an equaliser on the stroke of half-time and then pounced again with two more second half goals. Joyce made it an anxious last six minutes after making it 3-2 but Boston hung on for an important victory.
Town: Doughty, Lambley, Jackson, Ashton, Parker, Stevens, Eyett, Ford, Beck, Wightwick, Borbely

Holidays to Florida offer something completely unique. On one side of the coin you've got the state's world-famous theme parks, on the other you've got some of the best beaches north of the Caribbean.
Theme parks
When Walt Disney's grand plans for Magic Kingdom were brought to life in Orlando back in the Seventies, it set the precedent for things to come. Today, the Sunshine State is the world leader when it comes to theme parks. There are no less than 15, including 6 Disney Parks, and other household names like Universal Studios Florida®, SeaWorld® Orlando and Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay.
Malls, greens and restaurants
White-knuckle rides and worlds of make-believe are only part of the picture, though. With city-sized malls, world-class golf courses and more restaurants per head than any other US state, Florida pulls out all the stops to impress the tens of millions of visitors it receives every year.
The everglades
Pierce the tourist bubble, meanwhile, and you'll discover national parks, dense forests and swamplands teeming with the region's resident alligators. The Everglades are your best bet for outdoor adventure – hiking, kayaking and hot-air ballooning are just a few of the ways you can explore.
The beach scene
Then there are the beaches to consider. Shelving gently into the warm waters of the Gulf Coast, the swathes at St Pete's, Fort Myers and Clearwater are among the best in the country.
Places To Stay In Florida View all places to stay »
Orlando is the undisputed theme park capital of the world. More than 50,000 acres of turf in the region are covered by amusement parks, and the lion's share is owned by famous names like Universal and Disney. There are more roller coasters out here than there are days in the month. On the whitest knuckle rides you get launched from 0 to 40 miles per hour in 2 seconds and become inverted 5 times at 50 miles-per-hour. There's plenty for families, too – killer whale shows and tours of Cinderella Castle are just the start of the story.
From quirky Art Deco buildings to glamorous white-sand beaches, Miami is flamboyant from start to finish. Florida's southeastern tip is an easy-on-the-eye jumble of beaches, skyscrapers and colourful, cultural districts. And it all backs on to the huge Everglades National Park – prime crocodile-spotting territory.
St Pete Beach
With an average of 360 sun-drenched days a year, St Pete Beach is often dubbed the Sun Capital of America. Its Gulf of Mexico setting means pristine beaches are in good supply, plus it's bookended by a string of untouched barrier islands. As such, day-to-day life revolves around the great outdoors.

Eden Sessions and Citadel Festival present Foals
We're proud to announce that indie-rock legends Foals will play their only UK show of 2017 – except for their prestigious headline slot at London's 40,000-capacity Citadel Festival – at the Eden Sessions. This will be their first UK show since headlining the Reading and Leeds festivals in 2016.
Eden will be by far the most boutique and intimate show Foals have played for years, having headlined major festivals around the world and won numerous accolades, including best album at the NME awards and best live band at the Q awards.
The Oxford quintet are one of the most exciting live acts in the UK and are known for their unique indie-rock sound and complex lyrics, influenced by literature and philosophy.
Foals have released four studio albums – Antidotes, Total Life Forever, Holy Fire and What Went Down – all of which charted in the top ten in the UK and achieved over gold status.
In 2015 they were named Best Act in the World Today at the Q Awards, following their accolade of Best Live Act at the same awards in 2013. They have twice been nominated for the Mercury Prize – for Total Life Forever and Holy Fire – and their haunting single Spanish Sahara was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award.
Spanish Sahara and Inhaler have both won the Best Track gong at the NME Awards, and What Went Down was named Best Album last year.

100 W Corsicana Is Accepting Applications for Artists in Residence
Dogs allowed.
Courtesy 100 West Corsicana
Over the last few years, a number of Dallas-based artists have been making trips to Corsicana, a town about 55 miles south of downtown. Helmed by Southern Methodist University alum, Kyle Hobratschk, the project has been to transform a three-story historic building into a residency space for artists and writers. Complete with easels, work tables, seating and beds, it's a small organization, an artist retreat run by artists. And just last week they finished the space and announced their first call for applications.
They're offering two fully funded six week residencies, one for an artist and one for a writer, as well as a number of self-funded residencies. Applications for the first round of funded residencies are due November 1 with a $25 application fee, but if you're interested in funding yourself, applications are open year-round with no fee.
Interested? More information is available at 100westcorsicana.com.
