NORFOLK ISLAND AUSTRALIAN TERRITORY
1997
FROM
Norfolk Island (Norfuk: Norfuk Ailen) is a small inhabited island in the Pacific Ocean located between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia, and along with two neighbouring islands forms one of Australia's external territories.
The Norfolk Island pine, a symbol of the island pictured in its flag, is a striking evergreen tree endemic to the island and is quite popular in Australia, where two related species also groW.
Geography
Norfolk Island is located in the South Pacific Ocean, east of Australia. Norfolk Island is the main island of the island group the territory encompasses and is located at 29°02′S 167°57′E. It has an area of 34.6 km² (13.3 mi²), with no large-scale internal bodies of water but 32 km of coastline. The island's highest point is Mt. Bates (319 m above sea level), located in the northwest quadrant of the island. The majority of the terrain is suitable for farming and other agricultural uses. Philip Island, the second largest island of the territory, is located at 29°07′S 167°57′E, several kilometres south of the main island.
The coastline of Norfolk Island consists, to varying degrees, of cliff faces. A downward slope exists towards Sydney Bay and Emily Bay, the site of the original colonial settlement of Kingston. There are no safe harbour facilities on Norfolk Island, with loading jetties existing at Kingston and Cascade Bay. All goods not domestically produced are brought in by ship, usually to Cascade Bay. Emily Bay, protected from the Pacific Ocean by a small coral reef, is the only safe area for recreational swimming, although surfing waves can sometimes be found in Ball Bay.
The climate is subtropical and mild, with little seasonal differentiation. The island is a volcanic formation with mostly rolling plains.
The area surrounding Mt. Bates is preserved as the Norfolk Island National Park. The park, covering around 10% of the land of the island, contains remnants of the forests which originally covered the island, including stands of subtropical rainforest.
The park also includes the two smaller islands to the south of Norfolk Island, Nepean Island and Philip Island. The major settlement on the Island is Burnt Pine, located predominantly along Taylor's Road.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Norfolk Island is a small island in the Pacific Ocean located between Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia. Together with the two neighbouring islands Phillip Island and Nepean Island it forms one of the Commonwealth of Australia's external territories.
2. This tiny rocky outcrop in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is still technically a territory under Australian control, but its home to its own highly distinctive way of life.
3. Norfolk Island was settled by East Polynesian seafarers either from the Kermadec Islands north of New Zealand or from the North Island of New Zealand. They arrived in the thirteenth or fourteenth century, and survived for several generations before disappearing. They must have disappeared at least a few hundred years before Europeans arrived as the island was covered with forest by then. Norfolk Island began its colonial life as a penal colony and then became home to the Bounty Mutineers who the current residents are mostly decedents of today.
4. Norfuk or Norf'k is the language spoken on Norfolk Island (in the Pacific Ocean) by the local residents. It is a blend of 18th-century English and Tahitian, originally introduced by Pitkern-speaking settlers from the Pitcairn Islands. Along with English, it is the co-official language of Norfolk Island.
5. Kingston is the capital of the Australian South Pacific Territory of Norfolk Island. The vice-regal, legislative, administrative and judicial offices are all located in Kingston. The town is the second-oldest in Australia, and is of great historical and cultural significance to all Norfolk Islanders and other Australians.
6. To get there from the Australian mainland, there are only two flights a week from each Sydney and Brisbane and you have to fly from their international airports. Supplies from the mainland come via ship but once a month, and offloading the cargo can be quite an adventure due to the rugged coastline which requires large ships to anchor at least 1km offshore.
7. Thanks to the strict customs laws designed to protect the native ecosystem, there are no snakes on the island, nor are there centipedes, sand flies or fruit flies. As with virtually everywhere on earth though, there was no keeping the cockroaches out! While the wildlife is not so distinctive from elsewhere, there are 40 unique plant species, with the island the birthplace of that most famous of trees – the Norfolk pine.

Norfolk Island is the main island in a group comprising the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island, situated in the Pacific Ocean between Australia and New Zealand approximately 692 km (430 mi) south of New Caledonia.
The first settlers in Norfolk Island were East Polynesians but they were long gone when Great Britain settled it as part of its 1788 settlement of Australia. The island served as a convict penal settlement from 6 March 1788 until 5 May 1855, except for an 11-year hiatus between 15 February 1814 and 6 June 1825,[10][11] when it lay abandoned. On 8 June 1856, permanent civilian residence on the island began when it was settled from Pitcairn Island. In 1914 the UK handed Norfolk Island over to Australia to administer as an external territory.[12]:p 133
The evergreen Norfolk Island pine is a symbol of the island and is pictured on its flag. Native to the island, the pine is a key export for Norfolk Island, being a popular ornamental tree on mainland Australia, (where two related species grow), and also worldwide.

Emily Bay, protected from the Pacific Ocean by a small coral reef, is the only safe area for recreational swimming, although surfing waves can be found at Anson and Ball Bays.
The climate is subtropical and mild, with little seasonal differentiation. The island is the eroded remnant of a basaltic volcano active around 2.3 to 3 million years ago,[39] with inland areas now consisting mainly of rolling plains. It forms the highest point on the Norfolk Ridge, part of the submerged continent Zealandia.
The area surrounding Mount Bates is preserved as the Norfolk Island National Park. The park, covering around 10% of the land of the island, contains remnants of the forests which originally covered the island, including stands of subtropical rainforest.
Government House, 2015
The park also includes the two smaller islands to the south of Norfolk Island, Nepean Island and Phillip Island. The vegetation of Phillip Island was devastated due to the introduction during the penal era of pest animals such as pigs and rabbits, giving it a red-brown colour as viewed from Norfolk; however, pest control and remediation work by park staff has recently brought some improvement to the Phillip Island environment.
The major settlement on Norfolk Island is Burnt Pine, located predominantly along Taylors Road, where the shopping centre, post office, bottle shop, telephone exchange and community hall are located. Settlement also exists over much of the island, consisting largely of widely separated homesteads.
Government House, the official residence of the Administrator, is located on Quality Row in what was the penal settlement of Kingston. Other government buildings, including the court, Legislative Assembly and Administration, are also located there. Kingston's role is largely a ceremonial one, however, with most of th

1/2 Norfolk Island Democracy? Public meeting with Paul Fletcher Jan 2016
Difficult to watch but good to have a record of the public meeting held by Paul Fletcher
NDIS visits Norfolk Island
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Norfolk Island.
It's the best place on earth.
It's a beautiful place to raise your children, we all live here, we love it, we all look after each other.
So, welcome to Norfolk.
KERRELL-ANN: Prior to the NDIA, there were no disability services on Norfolk Island.
So, our aim was to establish some services
so that all of the participants who came into the scheme have an opportunity for choice and control in purchasing the services, what they want
and where they want that.
We worked with community. We did a lot of consultation.
We met with families and we asked them about the things that they love about being on an island and some of the things that were challenges for them.
Understanding what those challenges were, we set about trying to establish services that were going to address those challenges.
My role is a new role which was created when the NDIS came to the island.
I currently support 14 participants with varying disabilities and they are ranging from preschool to late 30s.
The NDIS has been fantastic for the island.
They have allowed the participants to get more independent and also providing support for the families which they haven't had before.
My name's Lleyton.
I'm 20 years old and I live on beautiful Norfolk Island.
I've been on the NDIS a year, it's been be a lot of fun, and he's helped me to do my emails, helped me understand about bills, socialising, a bit of everything.
KATH: Since the NDIS has come to Norfolk, for Jeremiah, he's had a lot more opportunities.
He's getting more social time. We're getting access to speech pathology and behavioural therapy.
And we've done some keyword signing and he's really coming in leaps and bounds with that, which is fantastic.
I am Jonty.
I am 17.
I like cooking dog biscuits
with Mum! (LAUGHS)
We always sort of kept our mind open as to what were the possibilities for Jonty when
we got back to Norfolk.
His special school that he was attending in Brisbane, they used to cook biscuits for dogs.
How many of these do we need to pop in?
-Five.
-Perfect.
HOWARD: I guess the big beneficiary of the whole exercise is Jonty because he gets out in the community, he's delivering his biscuits.
It's been really successful.
We know that Jonty, as far as going to the future, is going to be looked after with our involvement and NDIS as the overlay, so it's just fantastic.
KERRELL-ANN: The families are growing so strong here on Norfolk Island and they are succeeding and they are talking to us about the next step and the next step.
The successes are going to be their own.
I just look forward to being able to look back and seeing my little part of that journey.
We all look after each other.
Everyone else who's got access to NDIS will be seeing wonderful improvements as well.
It's made me really confident to walk around town.
I can visit to my friends and different places on the island.
I feel happy.
