Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has urged for Australians to exercise caution in New Caledonia following growing unrest in the region.
Riots have broken out in the French territory in the Pacific and a curfew imposed after a controversial reform passed France's parliament allowing French residents who have lived in the area for more than 10 years to vote in local elections.
Leaders in the region have expressed concern the move would dilute support for New Caledonia becoming independent from France.
