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.

Hitchhiking

Hitching in New Caledonia is pretty easy. Knowing French is very helpful though.
