INTRODUCTION TO DISCOVER NORFOLK – VOLUME 3 ISSUE 2
Welcome to Discover Norfolk, Volume 3 Issue 2 – Norfolk Island’s most comprehensive and freely distributed visitor magazine.
As we have settled into our 11th year of publications, we have been reminded of the challenges of shipping goods to Norfolk Island through some unexpected shipping delays, though at the same time we are also reminded how unique and special Norfolk Island is.
Mary Christian-Bailey’s article in this issue looks at how the building of the Norfolk Island airstrip in 1942 changed the Island. Even now, over 75 years later, the complexities and challenges that are faced by air and even sea transportation are highlighted, and in many respects they are not that different than they were all those years ago.
Also in this issue Jenny Jauczius tells us stories of going to the movies on Norfolk, Helen Brackin and Maree Evans introduce us to some of Norfolk’s curious four-legged nomads and we meet the Norfolk Island Garden Club who are getting ready to host the Garden Clubs of Australia Biennial Convention in October.
We also learn a little about the First Fleet through china remains at the Norfolk Island Museum as well as sharing number of features for galleries, tours, accommodation, shops and much more.
I continue to offer this publication to you, to take and use as a guide, and to share on your onward journey. I hope you can learn something new about this magnificent island, and impart your positive experience to others so they may find us too. The publication is, and has always been entirely funded by advertiser subscriptions, so please take time to consider the products and services printed on these pages during your stay and for your next visit.
If you’d like to delve a little deeper, our companion website holds all of the back issues of our 27 publications online for you to read completely free of charge, and has links to all of our advertisers own websites too. www.discovernorfolk.com.au
I hope you enjoy discovering beautiful Norfolk Island.
