Red earth, green trees. Such an epic landscape at the Blue River National Park in southern New Caledonia.
While we were here we were lucky enough to spot a few cagou - the endangered New Caledonian national bird which was brought back from the brink of exitnction and now roam freely in the park. .

Alright winter, I'm officially ready for shorts and tshirts again, you can sod off now!
This is a perfect little beach we stopped off at for a dip on the East Coast of New Caledonia.

One of the gorgeous spots to pull over on a road trip through New Caledonia.
There wasn't even a sign post for this or anything, just a little picnic area and an inviting looking path trailing off down the hill. So naturally we headed down to take a look!
I managed to get this one photo of Max actually posing as the rest of the time he was too busy looking down counting the huge fish in the crystal clear water!

Luckily the weather has been good this week or we would have had an even tougher time returning to the middle of winter from our beach front paradise!
New guide up on the blog to all things New Caledonia and more to come! .

Our trip to New Caledonia was made so special by the fact that we could road trip anywhere we wanted and there was a huge selection of amazing campgrounds to choose from. We're busy typing away on articles about camping and driving in New Caledonia!

We want to say a huge thank you to @hertz.nc for supplying us with a reliable and economical little car. It made us so much more flexible in our itinerary and we got to see parts of the country we wouldn't have otherwise been able to get to!
And a massive thanks to Jude for lending us all the camping gear as well as being an amazing host and giving us all kinds of local tips. If she opens a guesthouse I'll make sure to let you all know ;) #ad #newcaledonia #sponsored #roadtrip #hertz

Stopping to admire the views along Surf Highway 45 in Taranaki.
Hoping our next beach experience will be a little bit warmer than this one! Heading off for a couple of weeks road tripping around New Caledonia! Follow along on our stories to see what it's like.
