Welkam tu d’ Werl d’ Norf’k

“

”This is a world where you can be as laid back (or busy)

as you want to be. Where the only fast food is pulled

fresh from soil or sea. Where there are no traffic lights.

Where strangers wave as you pass by. Time moves

slowly here. Even our Norf’k dialect has changed little.

A salty remnant of Old English, it’s easy on the ear:

The modern world barely intrudes in this place. For centuries, plants and animals have made this a temperate refuge in the middle of the Pacific. Our rainforests are home to the world’s tallest tree fern. There are over forty unique plant species and over twenty species of birdlife.

A Natural Island

“Having my children grow up in an

environment that’s still so natural is a

blessing. Bushwalking in the morning,

snorkelling in the afternoon – and if

we’re lucky, we’ll round out the week

with a Phillip Island trek. Wherever you

go, the environment and the views are

inspiring. Always uplifting and full of life...”

SORREL WILBY

Chair of the Australian Geographic

Society & Getaway Reporter 9 years

You’ll experience wonders almost

everywhere. Come and explore our

world. All we ask is that you tread

lightly, as we do.

Phillip and Nepean IslandThese two small, uninhabited gems

bask to the south – just a short boat trip

away. Disembark for a casual day trek

around Phillip and you’ll marvel at the

majestic landscape with its variety of sea

birds, unusual plants, beautiful flowers

and rare fauna.

Botanical Gardens Lose yourself in five hectares criss-

crossed with lush, cool, walking trails.

You’ll encounter giant vines, tree ferns,

whitewood trees and many rare, exotic

rainforest species. But really, with 182

native species, our world is one big

botanic garden.

Biking Craggy terrain offers everything from

gentle slopes to heart-in-mouth downhill

runs. But wherever you go, the sheer

beauty of the landscape will take your

breath away. No need to bring a bike,

there are plenty for hire.

Bird WatchingWonders on the wing: you’ll encounter

red-breasted robin, green parrot and teal

blue kingfisher (the nuffka). Each Spring

we welcome migratory terns, frigate

birds, mutton birds, shearwaters and

boobies. They’ve been stopping by since

time immemorial.

Horse-riding and Carriage Rides Whether you’re a beginner or an

experienced rider, there’s nothing like

exploring on horseback. Take a detour for

billy tea and damper. Not saddle-ready?

Two placid Clydesdales will take you on a

carriage ride down memory lane.

Gardens As you make your way around, keep an

eye out for the many beautiful gardens

that welcome visitors. Even their names

conjure up images: Camelot Gardens,

Music Valley, Strawberry Fields and Walk

in the Wild – to name a few.

BushwalkingAround a third of our land is made up

of National Parks and Reserves. Over

ten spectacular trails take you through

temperate and tropical forests where

you can see the world’s tallest tree

ferns. Follow loop trails to lookouts and

coastal sea views. Walking trails are well

maintained. Go rugged. Go romantic.

Picnic among the pines...

Lookouts Enjoy eye-opening sea views on your

way to Mt Pitt, Mt Bates and the Captain

Cook monument. Other breathtaking

photo opportunities include Flagstaff Hill,

Bird Rock and Puppy’s Point.

Reserves Admire them. Explore them. In our

world, do everything at your own pace.

Parks and reserves include Anson Bay,

Bumboras, Hundred Acres, Cockpit and

Cascade. Each is serene and delightful.

You may encounter convict ruins, such

as those along Kingston walking tracks.

BBQ Picnic areasOur public BBQ picnic areas are

great places for a break. We often use

them ourselves. They’re wood-fired

and have tables and chairs. Find them

mostly dotted around coastal areas –

with spectacular views of course.

The pristine Pacific is central to our lives, and it encircles us. Immense schools of fish journey here on currents from its deepest regions. With no commercial fishing, the waters are always teeming. Along the diverse coastline are sheltered bays ideal for swimming, diving and boating.

Weather and water are generally mild

and pleasant. Observe it from above or

immerse yourself in it. Only one problem:

you may never want to leave.

Swimming & Snorkelling32 kilometres of diverse shoreline

embrace secluded beaches. The two

most popular are at Emily Bay and

Slaughter Bay. The coral and sea life has

to be seen. Grab some snorkelling gear

and take the plunge. Or take a tour with

a sea scooter… the fastest way to get

around under the surface!

Diving Enthusiasts travel from around the world

just to dive in our waters. You’ll marvel at

the massive schools of fish, underwater

caves and sheer rocky walls clad in coral.

Visibility usually exceeds 20 metres, and

there are over 30 world-class dive sites

– suiting levels from beginner to expert.

Crowds? Unheard of.

Sea Kayaking Join a group tour and paddle your way

around our rugged coastline. Pause

to admire the crystal clear waters with

immense basalt and sandstone rock

formations towering above. Explore small

inlets and hidden coves accessible only

by water.

Boating Prefer not to get your feet wet? Kick back

on a cruise around our stunning coastline.

Go on an adventure to Phillip and Nepean

islands. Or marvel at tropical fish and

coral in the lagoon through the glistening

hull of a glass bottom boat.

BoardingThere are several prime surfing spots

around the island and beyond the reef,

so bring your board. Or you can hire a

‘spy board’, which is a relaxing and novel

way to view marine life in the lagoon.

The Clearest Ocean

“The most spectacular element of our

marine parks is the beautiful coastline.

The contrasting landscapes, from

towering basalt columns to the white

sands, and the beautiful coral reef

system. Get yourself out amongst the

sea birds, whales, turtles and fish.

You will be rewarded.”

PETER CASSIDY

Marine tour guide

Fishing We tend to call it ‘catching’ – and with

good reason. Hire a rod and casually cast

your line from a pier or beach. Charter a

boat with a local expert and find yourself

reeling in succulent Sweet Lip (we call

them Trumpeter), Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo

and Great Southern Marlin – naming just

a few. To complete your day, wood

smoke your catch on an open BBQ.

There are plenty dotted around the island.

Feel as if your body and mind are being born anew. Do nothing at all, or pack it all in – from yoga to paintball; deep sea diving to mountain climbing. Explore our history and culture; seek out unusual wildlife; or hunt for bargains. Dining is a real adventure too, and you’ll experience food as Nature intended.

Seasonal fruit and vegetables are bursting

with flavour, and contented livestock

slowly attains its plumpness. There are

many cafes and restaurants, presenting

a tantalising blend of Western and

Polynesian cuisine.

Wining and DiningAlmost everything we eat is plucked from

soil or sea. Locals and visitors often

congregate for a cliff-top fish dinner – the

freshest fish imaginable, complemented

by locally grown salads (and stunning

views). Some of our delicacies are even

inherited from the legendary Bounty

mutineers and Tahitian foremothers,

such as banana-based treats like pilihai

and mudda. Our sweet fruit pies are

baked in heaven. You’ll find more than

35 restaurants and cafes, offering

a wide choice of gourmet delights.

Well BeingSurrender yourself to all kinds of luxurious

pampering packages and treatments.

After a day of adventure you can replenish

mind, body and spirit with yoga, chi-gong,

meditation, pilates or tai chi. Book those

tired muscles in for a hot rock massage

or re-mineralising body wrap!

Social Fun Enjoy social activities including squash,

tennis, bowls, archery, clay target

shooting, pistol shooting, paintball,

boxercise, gym, martial arts, triathlon and

cycling. Or experience one of the most

spectacular golf courses in the South

Pacific! You may even like to plan ahead

and take part in annual competitions and

tournaments.

A Lifestyle Like No Other

“What I love here is the great fish, variety

of meats and the way people create

dozens of recipes from seasonal produce.

When you visit look out for passionfruit

pie, sour milk bread with guava jelly, and

my favourites –Hihi pie (periwinkles)

and Dads’ Mudda (a green banana dish).”

SIMON BIGG

Chef and co-founder

of Sustainable Norfolk

12

Markets Sunday morning stop by the arts and

crafts markets, where you can pick up

locally made souvenirs or tantalising

treasures like home made guava jelly,

passionfruit pie and coconut bread.

There is a farmer market every Saturday

morning with plenty of locally grown fresh

produce on offer, or visit the fruit and

veggie stalls dotted across the island

with honesty boxes.

ShoppingFor retail therapy, choose from over 70

outlets in the Burnt Pine area. Go to town

on imported low tax products such as

perfume, cosmetics, jewellery and shoes.

But do take note – not all shops are

7 day trading, so best check beforehand.

As a visitor the Liqueur Mart offers you

30% off spirits and liqueurs (another

Norfolk nicety).

GalleriesSmall galleries and craft cottages offer

locally made souvenirs. Talented artists

and artisans produce uniquely Norfolk

fine arts and crafts. Fine pottery, painting,

jewellery, woodturning, photography,

textiles, weaving and plaiting.

There is only one streetlight, and you can

park your rental car with the keys in the

ignition. Complete strangers will wave as

you drive by. We believe this is how life

should be lived. In our world, it probably

always will be.

First InhabitantsThe very first humans here were probably

East Polynesian seafarers. It seems they

arrived in the 14th or 15th century, stayed

for a few generations, and then departed

again. To this day, experts are still trying

to figure out the details.

European Discovery Captain James Cook first arrived here in

1774, aboard the good ship Resolution.

He was evidently impressed – it was the

only time he ever described anywhere as

‘paradise’. In those days, the island was

uninhabited and he named it after the

Duchess of Norfolk. She must have been

a remarkable woman indeed to deserve

such an honour.

Convict Era Actually, there were two convict eras.

Governor Arthur Philip established the

first prison colony here in 1788, which

lasted but a few years. The island lay

empty until a second, much harsher,

penal colony continued from 1825 until

1856. These days historians consider

both eras important, and the Kingston

area has been nominated for World

Heritage listing.

Bounty MutineersThe Bounty mutiny needs little

introduction. Its colourful characters

have been played over the years by

movie legends from Errol Flynn to Mel

Gibson. You may not realise we’re

mostly descended from those colourful

characters and their Tahitian wives. In

1856, the growing families relocated

here from their original Pitcairn Island

home. The move was decreed by

Queen Victoria, and as a mark of gratitude,

‘God Save the Queen’ remains our

national anthem to this day.

A world where time moves more slowly. We are a unique people, descendants of the legendary Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian wives. They bequeathed us our language, our culture, and our approach to life. Here, elegant Georgian buildings are still in daily use.

History and Culture

“We encourage visitors to connect with

their past on many levels. Discover what

was so special about the Melanesian

Mission; why Polynesian dancing was

banned, see the most important piece of

Australia’s First Fleet history, and how the

convict prisoners lived.”

ARTHUR EVANS

Local Traditions A tradition handed down by our Tahitian

foremothers, the art of weaving is still

practiced on the island today. You can

purchase handmade items such as hats

and bags in shops or at the markets.

Here, everyone waves and calls each

other by nickname, such as ‘Hook’ or

‘Lettuce’ (if you don’t believe us, check

out our phone book!) You may also be

lucky enough to witness the arrival of

a cargo boat to the island – a procedure

that never fails to entertain, because

the lack of a deepwater port means

everything is offloaded in nets onto

small boats.

17

Georgian ArchitectureMany of our elegantly proportioned

buildings were built by convicts.

They comprise possibly the southern

hemisphere’s finest collection of restored

Georgian architecture. Several buildings

do duty as museums, and you’ll marvel

at the wealth of artefacts on view.

HMS Sirius HMS Sirius was the mighty flagship of the

First Fleet. She was tragically wrecked

on our reef, and artefacts recovered form

a key part of our museum collection.

Items range from massive anchors and

cannons; to humble buttons and buckles

worn by passengers and crew.

Number 10 Quality Row Take a deep breath, this is history you

can feel... A group of Fletcher Christian’s

descendents set up home at Number

10 when they first arrived from Pitcairn

Island. The house has been meticulously

restored to the way its occupants would

have lived in the 1840s.

Historical Attractions In the convict cemetery, headstones

provide detailed evidence of a horrific era.

Take a stroll or a guided tour. Government

House is also popular. Built in 1828, it is

one of the earliest intact government

buildings – not just here, but in all of

Australia. It’s open once a month to the

public. And don’t miss Fletcher’s Mutiny

Cyclorama, an amazing 360° pictorial

display created by local artists. For a

bit of quiet contemplation, tiptoe into

St Barnabas Chapel.

Museums Over 7 museums include unique items

from the first, second and third

Norfolk settlements; from HMS Bounty

and Pitcairn Island; plus genealogy

resources, agricultural tools and more.

Here, artefacts date back to 1790.
