BACKGROUND TO NORFOLK'S HISTORY Norfolk Island was discovered by Captain Cook in 1774. A convict colony was established in February 1788 when the Sirius was dispatched from the new colony of NSW. The Sirius was wrecked on the reef at Kingston on a subsequent voyage to Norfolk with essential supplies for the new colony. Artefacts salvaged from the wreck site of the Sirius now are displayed in the maritime museum. For more details about Norfolk's history and museums we suggest you visit the museums web site http://museums.gov.nf . An excellent video is available on Norfolk Islands history, culture and nature. For details check Lisle' s web site http://snell.nf. The first convict settlement closed down and a second convict colony was established in some years later and remained until 1856 when the convicts and their overseers were evacuated to Australia. In the same year, following representation to Queen Victoria, the entire population of Pitcairn Island (descendants of the crew of the Bounty and their Tahitian wives) were moved from Pitcairn Island to Norfolk Island, as Pitcairn Island had become to small to support the population of 196 people. Their arrival heralded a new and happier period in the island's history. Many of today's residents are direct descendants of the people evacuated from Pitcairn Island. They have retained much of their own tradition such as their language and culture such as traditional dancing and weaving. The photo on the right shows Karlene when not dressed for diving. The photo on the left shows a traditional Norfolk Island woven hat made by Karlene from a local flax moo'oo.

clipfile dot org Main August 22, 1999 PITCAIRN: The dwindling days of 'a heaven on earth' Sunday, August 22, 1999 Page 1A The dwindling days of 'a heaven on Earth' BY JOSHUA BENTON BLADE STAFF WRITER PITCAIRN ISLAND, South Pacific Ocean - Forty people is a crowded commuter plane. Forty people is a football team, or a Cub Scout pack. On two square miles of dead volcano in the South Pacific, 40 people is a country. Forty people is the population of Pitcairn Island, the number of people who, against all odds and perhaps all reason, have chosen to live on this rock hundreds of miles from the nearest human being. Their ancestors were criminals: mutineers fleeing the law after setting their infamous Captain Bligh adrift in a tiny open boat in the ocean. They knew the British navy would come looking for them, and they went searching for a place to hide forever. They found Pitcairn, and this lonely island - where fruit trees grow like weeds, where everyone is everyone's cousin or sister or uncle - is the legacy of their existence. When the mutineers landed 200 years ago, there was such a thing as "the known world," and Pitcairn was on the edge of it. Maps were guesswork; they showed great holes marked "uncharted." Vast swaths of the globe were inaccessible to the outside world.
