Our world has an amazing
PAST.
It is home to the southern hemisphere's best collection of restored convict
built Georgian buildings and structures that are still in community use
today - living history indeed! And they are World Heritage listed.
They house our museums, our parliament, and our public service. The
convict built pier is one of two places only to launch boats to go fishing, or
bring in goods from overseas.
Our world is only 8 x 5 kilometres in
size, yet it is a PLACE of amazing
physical beauty. It is a place blessed with a wonderful sub-tropical
climate where the 'great outdoors' is your playground. Where 'fast
food' is pulled out of the ground. Where 40 endemic species of flora
and fauna live. Our air is amongst the cleanest on the planet.
The only impurity in our seas is a 220 year old ship wreck of the Sirius.
Our world is somewhere you can take it
as easy as can be, or be as busy as you want to be. There are over 70
ACTIVITIES including sea kayaking, diving/snorkeling, bush walking,
and deep sea fishing; shopping; dinners; shows and plays; convict and other historical
tours; and clifftop fish dining.
Our
world is home to the wonderful Norfolk Island
PEOPLE. Over 20 nationalities live here,
but most notably it is home to the Pitcairn Islanders, descendants of
the Mutiny on the Bounty, who arrived here on June 8, 1856. The Pitcairners
brought with them cooking, music, and weaving/ plaiting
(see the hat above) that are still
practiced today, and a language that is still spoken. The Norf'k
language (Norfolk language) is a wonderful mix of Tahitian and old English,
and it is taught in our school.

Imagine no more.
