History of Norfolk Island
History of Norfolk Island told by one of the most enthusiastic tour guides we have ever met.
The World Heritage listed (2010) Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area
(KAVHA) on #NorfolkIsland holds many historical treasures from Australia’s past Colonial and Penal history. It also holds Australia’s only connection to Polynesia along with a present day unique community full of its melded old English and Polynesian roots. Enjoy a short walk and immersion in the past and be surprised how close the present-day community is to the 230 year old Bounty/Pitcairn story. All of this is encapsulated in the KAVHA precinct.

Secret History - Norfolk Island & The First Fleet
There's a story not often told about the First Fleet settlement of Australia in 1788. It's the tale of The First Fleet's second mission - settle Norfolk Island. This small colony in the South Pacific started just 3-months after Sydney Cove was settled in 1788 even went on to save the main Sydney colony from starvation a number of times. Here's my quick-take on this fascinating chapter of Australian colonial history.
If you're keen to experience Norfolk Island yourself then join me on my next tour in October 2014

Norfolk Island History
Norfolk Island History firstly summarised by Kathleen, then humourously detailed by Kim, and then detailed by our local historian. This is the story of when #CaptainCook first discovered #NorfolkIsland and thought there would be two valuable products that the British Empire could use; pine trees and flax. Both products were for the advancement of boat-building.

It’s hard to imagine that an island of such size could hold such volumes of history; seafaring Polynesians, early convict settlers, hardened criminals and pious Pitcairners have all left behind layers of intrigue. The entire island hums with history, for the past is a significant component of the island’s present and future
