history and breathtakingly beautiful, Norfolk Island is as enchanting and
quaint as its friendly locals who have lived on this tiny island for generations,
many of whom are descendants of those famous Bounty Mutineers. You’ll
find it hard to believe, as you drive down quiet country roads or walk
through the soaring trees of the national park, that this could ever have been
the setting for such a checkered and at times gruesome past: firstly as the site
of two penal colonies, then as a new home for descendants of the Bounty
Mutineers.
