‘Bounty’ / ‘Anniversary’ Day 2021
The 8th of June 2021 will mark the 165th anniversary of the Pitcairn Islanders arriving to Norfolk Island.
The Pitcairners were of course, the descendants of the English sailors of ‘mutiny on the Bounty’ fame and the Tahitian women who, under their leader Fletcher Christian, began a new life on isolated Pitcairn Island. After outgrowing tiny Pitcairn the community, made up of eight family groupings, relocated to Norfolk Island where their descendants still live today.
On the Day:
In the morning you will be picked up to join the Bounty Mutineer descendants as they reenact the landing of their forebears. The landing takes place at the Kingston Pier, the oldest pier in the Southern Hemisphere.
You can follow the procession of the Bounty Mutineer descendants who will be dressed in their period costume to the Cenotaph, where hymns are sung and respects paid to fallen heroes. Then it is on to the Cemetery, where wreaths are laid, local hymns and the Pitcairn Anthem (Norfolk Island’s national anthem) are sung. The Bounty Mutineer descendants then make their way to the All Saints Church for the judging of the best dressed families.
You can observe the tradition of the children of the Bounty Mutineer descendants rolling down the Government House hill. Then it’s off for morning tea followed by a traditional Island picnic lunch. Before lunch the Norfolk grace will be sung. You will sample some traditional Norfolk ‘wetles’ and enjoy complimentary red and white wine, orange juice, tea and coffee.
Optional Bounty Day Picnic Lunch – $150 per person – bookings essential to avoid missing out.
