Non-finite form

We have three non-finite forms: the infinitive, the ING form and the past participle.

I wanted to know how can I distinguish between a "perfect infinitive" and a "past participle"??

For example: My best friend isn't here. She has gone to Australia.

This "gone" is a perfect infinitive? or a Past Participle??

Thanks. Emotion: smile
