‘Everyone clapped once we landed, we were all just so happy.’

Anger over France's plan to impose new voting rules has spiralled into the deadliest violence in four decades in the archipelago of 270,000 people, which lies between Australia and Fiji -- 17,000 kilometres (10,600 miles) from Paris.

Another group of 103 Australians stranded in New Caledonia following deadly riots has been repatriated, meaning more than half the people who want to leave the French territory have gotten home.

A French plane arrived in Brisbane on May 22 night carrying 103 Australian citizens and family members after 84 Australians and 24 other nationals were repatriated to the Queensland capital on May 21.
