First Book Of Its Kind

A book of black and white photographs called “Nouvelle Caledonie—lie de Lumiere” (New Caledonia—lsland of Light ) recently went on sale in Noumea.

The introduction and photo captions are in French, but non- French-speaking tourists are ex pected to find the book an attrac tive souvenir just the same.

The photos cover Noumea and other parts of the main island, Loyalty Islands, the Isle of Pines, and some of the wildlife of the territory. The book is the first of its kind on New Caledonia and sells for 380 Pacific francs (about £l/18/-).
