Not much longer of our holiday left. Today was our last full day on the Island.
Deb and I started off with a walk in the National Park - up the Bridle Path and turned off to Bird Rock- more steep up and downs but great views.
We headed out for the days activities, stopping off at the op shop where Kerrie picked up a lovely red felt hat- very stylish.
We headed up to Palm Glen in the National Park which had some gentler slopes and did the walks there. Very green and some lovely tree ferns.
In the afternoon we did a Taste of Norfolk Tour. We had an interesting guide, he got us bogged, had us in stitches at times with his commentary- he was great and had some great local knowledge.
On of our stops was at Brook the Beekeeper - he had pet ducks which followed him around.
We sampled some of the local fruits along with his honey

We also learnt about salt making, tasted some local sausages, ginger beer and coconut pie.

For our last dinner on the island we went out to the Bounty Grill which was very nice.
The next morning it was time to pack up. Deb and I walked down to Ball Bay.
We had the use of the car for the day till it was time to head to the airport. We had breakfast in town, did a bit more exploring around the Kingston area. This was a photo of one of the originally houses from the First Settlement- most of those buildings had been destroyed.
We pulled up at one lookout only to have a herd of chickens and rooster follow our car and surround us when we got out.
I enjoyed one more walk along a beach- we don't get that chance very often.
These were some of the little Japanese Farm trucks that were very popular on the island.
Then it was time to say goodbye to Norfolk
Hello Sydney
Catch the bus back to Canberra and back to reality ( and the cold) after our lovely Norfolk Island adventure.
