Norfolk Island Small-Group Escorted Tour 2024

TRAVEL MASTERS & THE TRAVEL STUDIO EXCLUSIVE SMALL-GROUP TOUR

NORFOLK ISLAND REMOTE AUSTRALIAN ISLAND AND A FASCINATING HISTORY PEACEFUL PARADISE WITH DISTINCTIVE CULTURE & LIFESTYLE! Norfolk, an external Australian territory of approx 1,750 permanent residents, is universally picturesque and uniquely different! Over 1,500 kilometres from the Australian mainland (actually much closer to New Zealand), this tiny 8 km by 5 km volcanic outcrop is covered in lush rolling green hills with spectacular rocky shorelines.

Shaped by their genealogy and isolation, Norfolk Islanders have created a homeland far removed from the complications of modern life. They will tell you Norfolk is the ‘Best Place on Earth’ children here grow up with a strong sense of family and community. Beautifully clean, there is no sign of graffiti or rubbish on Norfolk - this is pristine living.

About 25% of the island is a permanent pasture, and although none of the island’s beaches have ever been patrolled, beautiful Emily beach (at Kingston village) is today swim-safe and protected by a natural coral reef.

The island is the eroded remnant of a basaltic volcano. The area around Mt Bates is preserved as a National Park containing parts of the original forests, and the tallest tree ferns in the world. Among other things, this is also the birthplace of the iconic Norfolk Pine - the symbol and key export of the island. Norfolk is also an important birding location, recognised internationally.

A CHEQUERED HISTORY Settled just six weeks after Australia’s founding colony at Sydney Cove, the island’s scenic historic area (Kingston) is recognised for its peaceful character, outstanding Georgian buildings and evocative ruins. Kingston was previously occupied by seafaring Polynesians, then as a British convict settlement, before being settled by the Pitcairn Island descendants of Fletcher Christian and the Bounty mutineers, together with their Tahitian wives, in 1865. Many of the modern day residents (about 30%) are descendants of these original mutineers. Their legacy remains strong - four public museums keep their stories alive. One of the most interesting sights is the waterfront cemetery, where hand-hewn gravestones record the stories of early pioneers, and are dotted with the names of the mutineers - Adams, Quintal, Young and McCoy etc. Bounty Day, the island’s most important annual historical event, celebrates the birth of the current unique Norfolk culture.

TOO GOOD TO MISS A uniquely island holiday destination, with a pristine lifestyle, powerful historic and cultural story to share, absolutely idyllic scenery everywhere, great food and hospitality - the tiny island of Norfolk provides your perfect escape from the recent isolation and restrictions of mainland Australia (and the world). So close, and so unique! Make the most of this fabulous opportunity!

NORFOLK ISLAND 2024

INFRASTRUCTURE APPROPRIATE FOR THE ISLAND CULTURALLY VERY DIFFERENT Burnt Pine is the island’s only commercial centre, location also of the only ATM (at the Commonwealth Bank). Some of the shops that line the only street in Burnt Pine are selfdescribed as ‘Department Stores’, which is quaint - they’re just like all the other stores, but with a slightly wider range of merchandise. On Sunday mornings, an open-air market is held in the carpark of the Post Office. Strict customs laws and quarantine rules are designed to protect the island’s delicate ecosystem of unique plants and fabulous fruit.

There are 40 unique plant species on the island, as well as the famous Norfolk Pine tree - no snakes or sandflies, centipedes or fruit flies. A slice of heaven really!

Due to the rugged coastline, there are no safe harbour facilities on Norfolk. Supplies arrive by ship from the mainland, usually monthly.

Unloading cargo can be quite an adventure. Ships have to anchor about a kilometre offshore and ferry the cargo in small whaleboats towed by launches. They can only unload at either of two tiny docks where antiquated cranes hoist the goods ashore - which jetty is used depends on the prevailing weather of the day. The excellent airstrip was constructed by Australian, NZ and US servicemen during WW2, and occupies a significant elevated part of the island. It was a key refuelling airbase for flights between Australia, NZ and the Solomon Islands during WW2.

There’s just one traffic roundabout on the island, no traffic lights, street lights are almost nonexistent, no house numbers, and no public transport. Cows, rather than cars, have legal rightof-way here, and freely roam on all the roads.

Visitors to the island get around mostly by hire car or bicycle - there’s only one taxi. Norfolk is still a place where drivers leave their cars unlocked while they go about their business. Locals (and visitors alike) greet each other while driving, with the ‘Norfolk Wave’ - raising of the index finger from the steering wheel as you pass an on-coming vehicle! English is the main language, but Norfolk has its own unique local creole language (Norfuk, or Norf’k) which combines Old English with Tahitian from the Bounty descendants - ‘Hello’ is Wataweih, and ‘How are you’ is Wataweih Yoriye.

Norfuk is one of the world’s rarest languages.

The island has a locally based radio station and a TV station, plus transmitters for Australian channels. Reflecting their Bounty heritage, many locals share a common surname - there are 380 Adams! Everyone is much more familiar with each others nickname than their birth names, so the distinctive Norfolk Island official phone book features a section where phone numbers are listed by nickname - some of them (Toad, Tarzan, Truck, Moo, Quack, etc) are quite colourful. Some of the locals have even forgotten their birth names!

THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving Day on Norfolk Island is a unique and special celebration that reflects the island's diverse cultural heritage. It was back in the 19th century that American whaling ships made it a frequent port of call and they brought with them many American recipes, such as cornbread and pumpkin pies.

American trader Isaac Robinson is credited as the man who brought Thanksgiving on Norfolk Island in the mid-1890s. The whaler settled on Norfolk and later became Norfolk’s Registrar of Lands and the island’s first United States consul. In Isaac Robinson proposed decorating All Saints Church in Kingston, American-style for a Thanksgiving service. Along with three friends, Robinson tied palm leaves and lemons to the pews of the Church, and the tradition has continued to this day! People still gather at that same church, in Kingston, today to pile fresh produce in the aisles, sing and worship, and express their gratitude, followed by a traditional Thanksgiving meal at home or on a Picnic, including pumpkin pie for dessert!

EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE RESIDENT

THERE HAS TO BE A CONTROVERSY

The island's cherished long-term resident, Colleen McCullough, forged a unique connection to Norfolk Island by marrying a descendant of the original Bounty mutineers. A renowned and best-selling author, McCullough made Norfolk Island her home for nearly four decades until her passing in 2015 at the age of 77.

From 1979, Norfolk was a self-governing territory of Australia. In 2015, the island sought significant financial assistance from the Australian Government, setting in train events that brought the island under the control of the NSW Government as a local council. Norfolk today has a NSW postcode (2899) and comes under NSW law, although it has no state member and politically belongs to the ACT federal seat of Bean.

McCullough was most famous for two of her globally acclaimed novels ‘Thornbirds’ and ‘Morgans Run’, set (in large part) on Norfolk Island. She was a vocal advocate for the island’s self governance model. Visitors can tour her quirky house where she lived to the end of her life, offering a glimpse of where her books were researched and written.

The island’s parliament of 9 was abolished and Norfolk lost its tax-free status, but gained access to Australia’s medicare system, Centrelink and a range of other services. Anti-Commonwealth sentiment still simmers on the island, and some locals continue their defiance against the territory’s current governance.

PRISTINE & ALMOST SELF SUFFICIENT Many islanders are land-rich but cash-poor, and most grow their own fresh food - of which there is plenty (particularly tropical fruit). The farming sector has become self-sufficient in the production of beef, poultry and eggs. Norfolk Island pine and Kentia palm seeds, cereals and vegetables are grown.

The pine and palm seeds, and avocados are actually exported. Norfolk is renowned for its cornbread and pumpkin pies, and seafood (snapper, trevally & kingfish) is plentiful - it’s the only major natural resource.

There are 35 local restaurants on the island, just one supermarket and no fast food outlets. Most wine is imported from Australia but there is a local winery, Two Chimneys Wines, with cellar door sales.

Islanders organise their own annual Food Festival, and progressive dinners in private homes are a popular way of giving visitors an opportunity to meet the locals and sample local produce.
