In my last post on our visit to Norfolk Island, I will focus on several the many other sites we visited and explored over our 5 full days there. Sometimes we made our way around the island in the hire car we had provided for almost the entire trip. On other occasions we were on guided tours. Both means of getting around were great. On one guided tour we visited a pretty church way out of town.
One evening we heard about a food fest down at the remains of the Kingston prison. It was a lovely and lively evening out with masses of people visiting the various ethnic food stalls and consuming their purchases at the tables and chairs provided.
On another occasion, using our hire car, we made it to the top of Mount Pitt, presumably named after the British Prime Minister in the middle of the 18th century. As the sign says, it is about 318 m high and just short of the highest point - Mount Bates. We had an excellent view over the whole island from this vantage point.
These following pictures show some of the views, including the island's international airport!
The island's Botanic Gardens lay close by and we explored them avidly.
On another occasion, we visited a lovely museum at Kingston that was home to one of the principal managers of the convict prison back in the early to mi 19th cecntury.

We sure did a lot in just a little time - all of it enjoyable.
