Vive in a Different France: New Caledonia Part 9

Bonjour tout le monde!
So after, last post's visa information, I thought I'd give you some more information on some fantastic attractions to check out while in New Caledonia.
The following places appear on LonelyPlanet.com as the list of must see attractions in New Caledonia.
A beautiful palm tree (picture is from public domain and can be found at wikipedia.org)
Lindéralique Rocks - These imposing black limestone rocks can be found along the coast of New Caledonia, starting south of Hienghène and continuing up to Hienghène bay. Some of the rocks are up to 60 metres tall and at Lindéralique (which is 4 kilometres south of Hienghène), you can sail in, around and underneath the rocks. Can you imagine that??!! It would be incredible!!! You can also explore the Grotte de Lindéralique, which is found nearby. (If you ask me, this attraction sounds a little like the 12 Apostles in Victoria.)
Parc Provincial de la Rivière Bleue - This "parc" (or park in English) is a recreational area found at the western end of the hydroelectric dam Lac de Yaté. It is a fantastic nature reserve, which contains many of New Caledonia's natural treasures. There is a visitor's information centre with maps in both French and English, which outline walks through the reserve.
So, these are just some of the wonderful attractions which can be found in New Caledonia. If you know of any more, please feel free to post a comment.
That's it for today.
À demain
