At first glance, it’s hard to believe that vibrant Norfolk Island could have a dark past. Yet during the 19th century, the now-peaceful Australian retreat was a convict colony, home to criminals who’d been banished into exile. Today, the archaeological remains of the penal colony have UNESCO World Heritage status and are revered for their historical significance. You can visit the settlement’s remains, an eerie yet beautiful collection that includes a jail, a cemetery, lumbar yard and salt house.

This is a great little beach with a well maintained boardwalk from the parking area down to the beach. Access appears to be limited when it is raining or wet as the vehicle access road is dirt and steep. You might be lucky to have the beach all to yourself. Also known as Bumbora Beach.

Very pretty location with steep cliffs down to the water. We had our Fish Feast here & soaked in Tahitian dancing, great food, fantastic singer & wonderful sunsey

It was fascinating watching the boa unload - even a car was craned onto a small boat, floated to wharf and lifted off by crane. Amazing to see.

Sorkelled here several times on low to mid tide. The coral is extensive and varied and there are lots of different fish. Really worth doing
