NEW CALEDONIA
Duration: 43 minutes

Throughout the Pacific the one man who's influence is repeatedly felt is that of Captain James Cook and no where more so than in New Caledonia, which he named because it reminded him so forcibly of Scotland. Here soft, rolling hills dominate the large islands, contrasting sharply with the volcanic peaks of the Eastern Pacific. Settled by the French, New Caledonia is a holiday playground with the flavour of the French Riviera. It boasts the largest lagoon in the world where myriad tropical fish entice divers and snorkellers. In this episode of the ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC series, We meet French cowboys on the inland cattle stations who shout French orders to Australian cattle dogs and we discover the secrets of perfect French coffee.
