About territory
Norfolk Island is a small external territory of Australia located in the Pacific Ocean. Its isolation has contributed to a unique cultural heritage, blending Polynesian and British influences. Originally settled by East Polynesians, the island later became a British penal colony in the late 18th century. The descendants of the Bounty mutineers, who relocated from Pitcairn Island, significantly shaped the island's modern identity. Today, Norfolk Island relies on tourism and agriculture, with its stunning natural landscapes attracting visitors from around the globe.
