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 roughly 2000km to the north of New Zealand, and 1500 km to the north-east of Australia.

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.
