《悉尼晨报》旅游专栏作者日前撰文分享了对新喀里多尼亚松岛（Île des Pins）的深厚感情，称若只能再旅行一次，选择便是这里。[1]作者自15岁首次造访该岛以来，已去过超过15次。[1]松岛位于新喀里多尼亚南部，距悉尼飞行时间仅需2.5小时。[1]
作者见证了这座岛屿在原住民库尼人管理下如何保持原始风貌。[1]岛屿大部分土地为原住民习惯地所有，游轮访问受部落首领自由裁量权控制。[1]作者已将松岛作为家庭传统旅游地传递给三个孩子，他们在很小时就随同访问过该岛。[1]
A travel columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald has shared her profound attachment to Île des Pins in New Caledonia, describing it as the one place she would choose for a final journey if limited to a single remaining trip [1]. Located in southern New Caledonia, the island lies just 2.5 hours by flight from Sydney [1].
The writer first visited the island at age 15 and has returned more than 15 times since [1]. Throughout her repeated visits, she has witnessed the island maintain its pristine character, a preservation she attributes to the strict stewardship of the Kanak indigenous people, who customarily own most of the island's land [1]. Cruise ship visits to the island remain subject to the discretionary approval of tribal leaders [1]. The columnist has introduced her three children to the island from an early age, establishing it as a cherished family tradition [1].
