postcards from historic norfolk

Whutta-waye? (how are you?)

We are back from a very short, but amazing trip to Norfolk Island and we are hoping to one day go back and take the children.

It is an amazing place, 

so tied up with our Australian heritage.

I could rabbit on for days about it, 

but I won't bore you, 

like someone showing thousands of slides from a trip, back in the day, 

I took nearly 400 photos in 3 1/2 days so it would be easy to do, 

I am going to try to be selective!

Here are 10 photos taken from the historic Kingston - Arthur Vale area.

 Entrance to the gaol.

 Kingston Pier 

this pier has been in use since convict times

 this is where they unload the cargo from the boats, 

depending on the weather, 

if it is too rough they have another pier that they try.

These boats are used to get the cargo off the ship.

They can fit a small car into one of these!

Quality Row

This house is set up as a period house museum.

I will be back with some beautiful scenery from Norfolk Island morla (tomorrow).
