East Polynesians were the first to settle on the islandaround the 14th Century, however they had left by 1774 when Captain James Cook first sighted the island. Two years later the American Revolution began and Britain had to find new territories for the deportation of convicts. Drawing on Cook’s discoveries, Australia and Norfolk Island were selected and the First Fleet was sent off to them in 1787. Convicts and free settlers lived on the island until it was abandoned in 1814. The Second Penal Settlement established itself from 1825 – 1855 and Norfolk Island was once again transformed into a prison isle. Meanwhile, events were unfolding eastward in the Pacific which would eventually link to this small isle. In 1788 HMAV Bounty left England on a mission to gather breadfruit trees from Tahiti for the West Indies planters. A startling turn of events including love affairs with Tahitian women and a mutiny on The Bounty saw Fletcher Christian and his crew create a new life for themselves on Pitcairn Island with Tahitian women and men. They burnt the Bounty and remained undetected until an American whaling ship discovered the hideaway in 1808. In 1854 Queen Victoria gave approval for Pitcairn Islanders to move to Norfolk Island. In June 1856 a community of 194 arrived on Norfolk Island and the descendants of those settlers still inhabit this beautiful idyllic retreat today. The Norfolk Experience There are so many activities on Norfolk Island to keep you entertained. There are several restaurants and eateries on the Island, ranging from a la carte and family friendly restaurants to club bistros and takeaways. Cafes offer hearty breakfasts and evening meals also. The paddock to plate approach to Norfolk Island dining means food tastes just as it should, full of flavour, grown in its natural season and rich with all the right nutrients. You can hire a car and cruise along the winding roads or for the more active, jump on a mountain bike and enjoy an easy ride with stunning scenery. Lose yourself in the wild mountain sides that form Norfolk Island National Park. Wander the lush walking tracks and you’ll encounter giant vines, tree ferns, delicate flowers and many rare rainforest species. World Heritage listed Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area is an attraction in itself. There you will find fascinating places including: the Cemetery (convict headstones provide detailed evidence of a horrific era) and Government House. Hire a rod and casually cast your line from one of the two piers. Join a charter fishing trip with a local expert and find yourself reeling in succulent Sweet Lip, Kingfish and Wahoo – just to name a few. To complete your day, cook your catch on an open BBQ. 4 www.omnicheholidays.com Omniche Holidays Norfolk Island CAPT.

MOUND & ALICE WELLS Australian National Insect Collection CSIRO, PO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601. E-mail: laurence.mound@csiro.au Abstract The thrips fauna of Norfolk Island is a curious mix of endemics and adventives, with notable absences that include one major trophic group. A brief introduction is provided to the history of human settlement and its ecological impact on this tiny land mass in the western Pacific Ocean. The Thysanoptera fauna comprises about 20% endemic and almost 50% widespread invasive species, and shows limited faunal relationships to the nearest territories, Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand. This fauna, comprising 66 species, includes among named species 29 Terebrantia and 33 Tubulifera, with four Tubulifera remaining undescribed. At least 12 species are endemics, of which 10 are mycophagous, and up to 10 further species are possibly native to the island. As with the thrips fauna of most Pacific islands, many species are wide- spread invasives. However, most of the common thrips of eastern Australia have not been found on Norfolk Island, and the complete absence of leaf-feeding Phlaeothripinae is notable. The following new taxa are described: in the Phlaeothrip- idae, Buffettithrips rauti gen. et sp. n. and Priesneria akestra sp.

  • Western Pacific Odyssey 13Th March to 12Th April 2020 (31 Days)
    Western Pacific Odyssey 13th March to 12th April 2020 (31 days) Short-tailed Albatross by Adam Riley Known in birding circles, simply as the ‘WPO’, this expedition incorporates many of the key birding areas in the South West Pacific. First offered in 2007, it is now considered one of the ‘must do’ expeditions for any birder because of opportunities to see some of the rarest pelagic seabirds in the world plus many island endemics. But it is not only for ‘birders’. The cetacean list can only be described as outstanding and if you ever tire of birding or cetacean watching then there are numerous snorkelling, swimming and relaxing opportunities. RBL Western Pacific Odyssey Itinerary 2 After departing the Port of Tauranga, in New Zealand we sail for the rich waters of the Hauraki Gulf where there are numerous endemic species, including the recently discovered New Zealand Storm Petrel. From there it’s northward to Norfolk Island for a day. Next stop is New Caledonia where we search for the amazing Kagu and other endemics in the Rivière Bleue National Park. We then spend five exciting days in the Solomon Islands birding on Rennell, Makira, Guadalcanal (Mt Austin), Santa Isabel and Kolombangara, before cruising across the New Britain Trench, an area known to be extremely rich in cetaceans. As we sail along the coasts of Bougainville and New Ireland, we will look for two extremely poorly known seabirds, Heinroth’s Shearwater and the recently rediscovered Beck’s Petrel, both of which we have seen on almost all our previous expeditions in this region.

    NORFOLK ISLAND AIRPORT – 2018 FACT SHEET NORFOLK ISLAND AIRPORT 2018 FACT SHEET 1 | P a g e NORFOLK ISLAND AIRPORT – 2018 FACT SHEET About Norfolk Island Location & Geography Norfolk Island is a small island in the Pacific Ocean - located between Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia, 1,412 kilometres (877 mi) directly east of mainland Australia's Evans Head, and about 900 kilometres (560 mi) from Lord Howe Island. The island is part of the Commonwealth of Australia. Set at 29.03º south and longitude 167.95º east, set on 3455 hectares, Norfolk Island is a South Pacific paradise, abundant with stories, activity and character. At the 2016 Australian census, it has 1,748 inhabitants living on a total area of about 35 km2 (14 square miles). The island's official capital is Kingston; it is, however, more a centre of government than a sizeable settlement. The largest settlement is at Burnt Pine. Local ordinances and acts apply on the island, where most laws are based on the Australian legal system. As a territory of Australia, Norfolk Island does not have diplomatic representation abroad, or within the territory, and is also not a participant in any international organisations, other than sporting organisations. Norfolk's climate is subtropical. Summer temperatures (December-March) average about 75F (25C) and winter temperatures (June-September) average about 65F (18C). Yearly rainfall is approximately 50 inches (1200mm), most of which falls in the winter. The island is covered by 80km of lanes and walking tracks which weave through scented pine trees, beaches, cliffs and historic convict ruins which make getting around the island easy.
