New Caledonia is a French overseas territory in the Pacific Ocean. It comprises a main island (Grande Terre), the Loyalty Islands (Lifou, Mare, Ouvea, Tiga), the Ile des Pins and several smaller islands. It is approximately half the size of Taiwan. It is located to the north of New Zealand, and the north-east of Australia.
Hitching
Hitching in New Caledonia is pretty easy. Knowing French is very helpful.
Noumea
In order to hitch out of Noumea towards the west (towards Boulouparis, Bourail) the best option is to take the bus out in the direction of the airport at La Tontouta. Get off and hitch from the main road. From here it is very easy to get lifts east.
