Guide to Norfolk Island

Norfolk Island is a quiet paradise, often overlooked yet unforgettable once found. Discover for yourself why visitors return time and time again.

Take a short flight from Sydney or Brisbane and you will find yourself in one of Australia's most fascinating and historical destinations. Settled by descendants of mutineers who speak a mix of Tahitian and 18th century English, it's a friendly place where giving a small ‘Norfolk wave’ as cars pass each other is practically mandatory, cows have right of way and everyone knows everyone else.
