3 Million years ago when earth was in its geological building, the volcanic activities chain of ZEALANDIA , with Norfolk ridge , stretching from New Zealand to New Caledonia was created . After all these eruptions , this now calm with lovely natural beauty Norfolk Island draws attention of travel by choosy ,individual travelers.

Captain Cook declaration , made island British colony .Islands remote placing in South Pacific, as we learned became suitable place for penal colony .

Norfolk Island isn’t typical South Pacific Island , where walking on warm sandy beaches , diving into the warm water , has altgernative joy where one “”dives into history of the Island “ and walks into chapters of often rough history of Norfolk Island .
Instead of tropical warmth, one can experience precipitation and moisture . Rain creating misty grey curtain. Corp de ballet of pine trees , white colour sea birds dancing ballerina pirouettes, while orchestra of crushing waves and other birds singing , create for true art of operatic mood of mother nature.

Norfolk Island is definitely place to visit and enjoy its charms .
