Norfolk Island
Back from Norfolk
I arrived home from Norfolk Island on Wednesday afternoon after a solid week of activity. I had a busy week and I was pretty tired after having three early mornings (3.45 am) in a row. I filled in my second last day (free of any planned activity) revisiting some of the places that I had […]

Back on Norfolk Island
Well, I’m back on Norfolk – a place that I hadn’t expected to return to, at least for many years. This time, I have a different set of expectations and I’m busy with a photo workshop run by Michael Snedic, a Brisbane based photographer. Last time I was here, I was disappointed. Not by the […]

Norfolk Island – Would We Return?
Norfolk Island is a quiet, peaceful and scenic place. Would we return some day? Probably, not for a long time. Perhaps our opinion is coloured by the fact that we chose to spend seven days here, when four or five would have been quite ample for us. We are people who, while in our sixties […]

Norfolk Island – Not Much Left to See
Well, we have now seen pretty much everything on the island and we are starting on our second circuit of the sites. Seeing that the shops were only open in the morning on Saturday, we took some time to buy a few more beers and another bottle of wine for pre-dinner drinks. We found a […]

Norfolk Experiences
We must be getting acclimatised to the pace of this place as it was after 8.30 when we awoke this morning and nearly 10.00 am before we left to head into town for brunch. We pottered around a couple of the craft shops that we had not yet visited and spent a lot of time […]

Norfolk Island Resupplied
Our last two days have been very pleasurably spent taking in the very attractive scenery of Norfolk Island. Yesterday, we started late and found a rather nice café for brunch in the main street. I was getting sick of eggs, so I ordered a really nice fruity breakfast with a base of honey drizzled Greek […]

Norfolk Island – Stuck in the 1950’s
Our observation is that life on Norfolk Island is very calm and restful. It’s an easy life here with little pressure and a balmy climate. The scenery is wonderful and the whole island looks like a giant park. With all this peace and serenity, you would think that you could be back in the 1950’s. […]

KIngston & Convicts
Well, the ship didn’t get unloaded today and the island is getting more desperate for food and supplies. The announcer on the local radio did say that “it was probably certain that the ship would get unloaded at some time in the future, so we are all hopeful. We spent most of our time today […]

Norfolk – Good News & Bad News
We boarded our flight in Sydney to Norfolk Island this morning for a 9.10 am departure. I had previously read someone’s trip report of their visit to Norfolk and they wondered (according to the age of people on the plane) whether they were going to a sub-tropical island, or instead, to a retirement home. We […]
