Welcome to Norfolk Island

Located in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, Norfolk Island is an historic paradise offering a relaxed way of life and a tight knit yet friendly local community. Just 35 square kilometres in size, the island enjoys 32km of stunning coastline and evokes a sense of being completely isolated from the rest of the world.

A lush island renowned for its jagged cliffs, sand beaches and towering pine trees, Norfolk's English ancestry is still represented by its heritage buildings and colonial architecture. A popular holiday destination to escape the bustle of daily life, Norfolk Island doesn't have ports, harbours, railways or even major roads. Instead, the island is covered with 80km of laneways which make getting around easily and cows still have right of way on the island.

Know Before You Go

Located between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia, Norfolk Island is renowned for its pine trees and this symbol is also the feature on the territory's flag. Norfolk Island is home to more than 170 native plants, and is a breeding ground for several types of sea birds. Despite its colonial history, not all Norfolk ancestors are English, in fact some were Polynesian and this influence is still strong in the local cuisine and the hula dance today.
