Norfolk Island Adventure Part 2

 The first 4 days were lovely and sunny and calm, we were missing out on minus 6 at home while the locals were complaining about the cold. Back at Prinke soaking up the sun!


We went exploring the island- first stop was the Botanic Gardens







Then up to Mt Pitt Lookout and a walk across to Mt Bates which is the highest point on the island. Lovely views





After lunch we headed down to Emily Bay where the girls ventured in for a swim, I just paddled!




Then we explored the waterfront and the Kingston Historic Area.

Government House


Kingston Pier


One of the old ruins from the Second Settlement




Deb and I heading off for a morning walk

Went exploring the West Coast, first stop was the Hilly Goat Farm and Cottage Pottery


We found the goats and got some cheese!




More lovely ocean views from the end of Fisherman Lane, the northern most road. This is looking east.

Then we headed down to Anson Bay- it was a 10 zig zag walk down with quite a scramble at the end, but the views were worth it!





Headed south down the west coast, stopping at Puppies Point and Headland Reserve



Next stop was Hundred Acre Reserve


Found a nice resting spot with a lovely view

Some of the tall tree ferns on the way back up


And a huge Morton Bay Fig



Final stop of the day was Bumboras Beach which had a lovely board walk along the creek to take us down to the sea.




It was a great day out!
