DescriptionJoin us for Foundation Day festivities. Step back to the beginnings of Norfolk Island’s colonial history as the island commemorates the arrival of its first British settlers in 1788. Set against the remarkable backdrop of World Heritage-listed Kingston, guests will witness a re-enactment of the landing and the establishment of Norfolk Island’s first British settlement. As the story unfolds in the very place where these events occurred, the historic landscape provides a powerful setting for bringing this important chapter of the island’s past to life. Following the re-enactment, the celebrations continue with a relaxed buffet lunch at beautiful Emily Bay. Enjoy generous food, local hospitality and the atmosphere of one of Norfolk Island’s important annual commemorations.
