Noumea ANZAC Day in New Caledonia
2024
7 DAY FULLY INCLUSIVE TOUR
monDAY 22nd April to Sunday 28th april
Effortlessly combining the breathtaking beauty of the South Pacific with the elegance of Europe, Nouméa in New Caledonia is a captivating cosmopolitan capital. Lined with magnificent beaches, beautiful waterways and no shortage of breathtaking vantage points, a visit to the New Caledonian capital reveals some of the incredible reasons why this corner of the globe shouldn’t be missed. From engaging cultural attractions,
to stunning landscapes, there’s so much to see and do.
The American troops, under General Patch, were the largest allied forces corps to make New Caledonia into a huge rear command base between 1942 and 1944. However, in Bourail, it is above all the memory of 18,000 New Zealand soldiers who travelled across New Caledonia that remains ingrained in local memory, and that it is why Bourail has the sole foreign military cemetery in the region. Most of the New Zealand troops belonging to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) were actually stationed or located in Bourail. So, naturally, the region has a military cemetery with graves mostly of people from countries affected by the conflict. As such, the cemetery, which is a must-see for every visitor, situated in a place of great beauty and meticulously cared for, is actually a New Zealand enclave on Caledonian soil!
