Norfolk Island - May 2023

 We had planned this trip for a while to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing week there.

I'm just posting the photos to keep them accessible for the future so no big story.



We had hired a car but the fuel prices were a bit nasty.


The NI Brewery - lovely stuff


We walked to the Captain Cook Point











We had dinner out at Hilli's Restaurant where they treated us really well.




"kill'd by a whale"








The view from the highest point on the Island - that's our little hire car.






A magnificent organ in an old church.




Built by boat builders - it shows in the roof.












This is Lone Pine overlooking Emma Bay.
The tree is over 830 years old.








The next photos are all of the original prison complex.

They did horrible things to the prisoners here. 



Each of these spaces was a prison cell measuring 1.6 metres by 1.2  metres. Snug!










These were outhouses dropping the waste into the ocean.
