A real getaway

by bevrobinson

Norfolk Island is the greatest place to get away and relax without pressure. There are a variety of things to do from bush walking, great cafes and restaurants, various historical attractions (some of them lots of fun) about the Mutiny on the Bounty and the first, second and third settlements. The historic buildings are a living treasure. They are actually used and their backdrop at Kingston is one of the most scenic spots I have ever visited in the world. The scenery and the local food - it tastes like real food used to taste. Everything is fresh and seasonal.

Watching the ocean

by Sajt

We spent lot of time on the Norfolk Island beach do nothing just watching the ocaen and the waves. We enjoyed so much. In Hungary we don't have ocean and see. But I think, if you have you still enjoy this activity. 2-3 meter high waves around you.

Nature of Norfolk Island

by Sajt

If you look around you will see almost only green. On the horizot you will see only blue. Together is amazing. I like this two colors. I was there winter (August) of 2002, but we had nice weather. The hole island have fresh air from the ocean. That is why lots of old people visit this island. The other reason visit the island is because you don't have to worry about your thigs. Nobody will stole your staff. Everybody have own things. On the airplane I think we were the only people under 25.

A little history

by Sajt

When I was there I heard some story about the local history. Maybe you know Australia was a prison island forlong time. Norfolk Island was an other prison island, but for worst prisoners. The hole island is very young. I heard captain Cook was the first who touched the island before Australia. Norfolk Island's Fascinating HistoryThe day after the First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay, Lieutenant Philip Gidley King began selecting the handful of men and women whose fate it would be to colonise Norfolk Island. Britain was then engaged in the American War of Independence and her supplies of timber for ship-building and flax for sails were almost exhausted. When Captain Cook discovered Norfolk Island, he enthusiastically reported that flax and giant pines grew abundantly there. His Majesty's Government had a further reason for colonising Norfolk - if the British didn't, the French would. Lord...
