About Norfolk Island
Norfolk Island is a small island territory of Australia located in the Pacific Ocean, east of New South Wales.
The island is volcanic in origin and is dominated by steep cliffs and a rugged coastline. Mount Bates is the highest point.
The culture is a unique blend of its Polynesian heritage and the traditions of the Pitcairn Islanders who settled there.
Originally inhabited by Polynesians, Norfolk Island was later settled by British convicts in the late 18th century. It later became a penal colony and then a settlement for descendants of the Bounty mutineers.
