Bourail, Administrative commune in South Province, New Caledonia.
Bourail extends across 797.6 square kilometers of western New Caledonia, incorporating coastal regions with varied natural landscapes and marine environments.
The settlement evolved from its Kanak origins through French colonial administration, becoming a vital administrative center in New Caledonia's South Province.
The name derives from the Ajië language, with 'bu' meaning tail and 'rhaï' meaning lizard, reflecting the deep connection to indigenous heritage.
The region maintains several educational facilities serving approximately 2000 students, with many continuing their studies in the capital city of Nouméa.
The Bourail Agricultural Fair in August stands as New Caledonia's largest event, featuring rodeo competitions, livestock judging, and equestrian demonstrations.
