Luggage And Bags: If you're backpacking, I guess a backpack, otherwise a suitcase is fine.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I wore mostly sandals. Don't forget the sun hat.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Dia-stop or something in case of dehydration, plus the usual creams and bandaids. Insects don't seem to be too much of a problem.
Photo Equipment: Normal photo equipment is fine. Save on batteries by buying them before you leave, and get them developed back at home.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: I haven't camped there, but I guess you just need the usual, lightweight stuff because of the heat and humidity.
Miscellaneous: If I went back to Noumea again (and I just might - it was very pretty) I'd carry most of my own food (to save living on hotdogs!) and my own little camping stove. That would save a lot in meals.
