Please join Lynn and Andrew on this 8 day tour
to Norfolk Island and experience all the wonders
this beautiful relaxed Island paradise has to offer.
Norfolk Island has a fascinating history, being
officially claimed by His Majesty’s Government as
the 2nd settlement of Australia in March 1788.
However there was a brutal side to this settlement
as it was designated to become a penal colony,” a
place of the severest punishment short of death”
Sir Thomas Brisbane wrote. A relic of those days
can be seen at the Unesco World Heritage site of
Kingston, where the remains of the penal colony
and government buildings stand.
There is so much to experience on Norfolk
including the rich history, stunning sandy beaches,
rugged cliffs, tall pine trees, culinary delights and
friendly local people. Travelling with Lynn and
Andrew you are sure to enjoy a fabulous week of
discovery, fun, laughter, fine food and friendship.
Book early as places are limited.
