Nouvelle-Calédonie

Nouvelle-Calédonie (engl. New Caledonia) is an island group ca. 1500 km off the northeast coast of Australia. Mountains run the entire length of the main island Grande Terre. On the western side the land is relatively flat, while the east coast is more mountainous. The capital of the territory associated with France is Nouméa. About 50 km southeastwards lies Île des Pins (Kunyie). The Îles Loyauté (Loyalty Islands) are east of Grande Terre, the main islands being Ouvéa, Lifou, and Maré.
