Crooked Colors
Australian electronic trio Crooked Colours ventured to New Caledonia with a bold idea: to turn the islands’ everyday soundtrack into music. They captured the whispering lagoon, cascading jungle waterfalls, lively market scenes, traditional Kanak melodies and the vibrant rhythm of Nouméa.
From these sounds, they crafted Sounds of New Caledonia — a bespoke track inspired entirely by the destination.
Australian National Swimming team
As they prepared for the Olympic Games, members of the Australian national swimming team selected New Caledonia as the setting for their intensive training camp. Their days alternated between focused sessions in world-class pools and restorative breaks by the lagoon or at the iconic Amédée Lighthouse. They discovered a destination where elite sporting conditions meet the calm and beauty of a South Pacific escape, a place that motivates athletes and captivates holidaymakers alike.
Barefoot – Dean Cropp
Sailing filmmaker Dean Cropp, captain of Barefoot, set sail for New Caledonia on a wide-ranging expedition around the archipelago. His journey took him from the Loyalty Islands and the untamed east coast to the remote far north, the vast west coast, the striking red landscapes of the south and finally the turquoise expanse of Nouméa’s lagoon — always in search of quiet anchorages and open horizons.
Through his camera, the UNESCO-listed lagoon and the rhythm of life on the water reveal a side of the Caillou that is both elemental and calming, offering an intimate glimpse of New Caledonia from a true sailor’s point of view.
