Visit of Europa

Today Norfolk Island welcomed 300 German visitors.

They landed on Norfolk from the Europa, that moored of Kingston, to a magnificent Norfolk autumn day.  The visitors went fishing, shopping, or toured around the island.  Enjoy these few photos.

Round the Island Relay 2010

What a day it was on Sunday for the 2010 'Round the Island Relay'.  Over 50 people participated - some ran the entire course, others walked, some ran and walked, and more were part of a team who shared the load.  And some did it their way .... (see right)

This year the course was from the convict compound at Kingston; to the school via Driver Christian Road; to Prince Phillip Drive via Cascade and CockPit Reserve; through the National Park to Captain Cook Reserve; to Puppy's Point; to 100 Acres; back to Kingston - 25 kilometres all up.

Everyone finished and all enjoyed a cold drink and a sausage sizzle to end a memorable event.


Kingston was magnificent
