ABOUT NEW CALEDONIA
Located approximately 1200km east of Australia, in the southwest Pacific Ocean, is the picturesque island nation of New Caledonia. With a population of approximately 270,000 people, the country is comprised of three main islands: Grande Terre, the largest and most populous island, the Loyalty Islands, and the Chesterfield Islands, situated in the Coral Sea.
New Caledonia is divided into three provinces: the North and South provinces are located on the New Caledonian mainland (Grande Terre Island), while the Loyalty Islands province is comprised of a number of islands located just off the mainland. Europeans typically reside in the South province, the country’s wealthiest province, which is situated on the main island surrounded by majestic coral reefs.
New Caledonia’s economy thrives on a combination of services, nickel mining, agriculture, forestry, and fishing. As a French territory, the country receives subsidies from France to support its growth.
The country’s capital is Noumea, located on the main island, Grande Terre. With a population of around 100,000 people, the city is home to the University of New Caledonia, as well as a deepwater port, suitable for accommodating commercial container vessels.
