About Norfolk Island: Discovered by Captain Cook in 1774, Norfolk Island was first settled as a British penal colony in
1788 through to 1856. On June 8, 1856, the island was re-inhabited by a community from Pitcairn Island, descendants of
the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. Known today as Norfolk Islanders, they form a majority of the 1,800
resident population. Norfolk Island is renowned for its spectacular coastal scenery, colourful history, sporting and
cultural activities, convict heritage and tax-free shopping.
