THESE VISITORS SAID OF
THEIR BAUNTI EXPERIENCE

Our world is home to the Norfolk Island
PEOPLE. Over
20 nationalities live here. Notably it is home to the
Pitcairn Islanders, descendants of the Mutiny on the
Bounty, who arrived
here on June 8, 1856. They brought with them
cooking, music, and weaving/ plaiting 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. |

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 yours to
enjoy. 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:
amazing marine and nature-based pursuits such as bush
walking, sea kayaking, frontier surfing, diving/snorkeling,
and deep sea fishing; shopping; dinners; shows and plays;
convict and many other historical tours; and clifftop fish
dining. Our world is your playground! |
