Norfolk Island 2

Go back to my first Norfolk blog where the focus was on some of the history of Norfolk Island around Kingston.

In this blog I will take you around the sea scapes of the island to the various bays and lookouts.


The island was first visited by the English sailor Captain Cook on October 10 in 1774 in HMS Resolution.

Duncombe Bay, Cook's landing spot.

The Cook Memorial at Cooks lookout.

The other side at Cooks Lookout.

Anson Bay, where the first cable came ashore linking up with Australia


In the first blog, I spent some time in Kingston and upload some images from in the cemetery. Just over the dunes is Cemetery Bay where the following were taken over several visits.

A nice place to build a house overlooking Cemetery Bay 

This shows the intense blue colour of the sea and crystal clear water.
