| An old shipwreck at Gadji Bay - click for album Here is the geotrack for the day |
A short drive north of Noumea is Gadji Bay where there sits a quite old ship wreck. Originally know as the Mary Judith, then Cleneg, and finally Melanesia, the vessel was grounded here in 1988 by Hurricane Anne. A fuller history (albeit in French) can be here here. We also drove to a couple of viewpoints overlooking where the richer French residents barricade themselves in marinas behind locked gates.
