Norfolk Islanders who have seen the emblem and award-winning Fletcher's Mutiny Cyclorama know that it represents the Norfolk Island story from the times when HMAV Bounty Plymouth abandoned Plymouth in 1787 until the Pitcairn Islanders arrived in Norfolk on June 8, 1856. The Pitcairn Settlers Village Tours is in many ways the story of Norfolk Island from that date to the present one.

Most of the trip took place in a 1928 Ford Model A vehicle. You' ll see the story of Emily Christian, Fletcher's great-granddaughter, and the heritage she was instrumental in shaping when she got George Bailey's marriage in 1875. These four generation have only supplemented, not substituted, what George and Emily have made.

Formerly on Pitcairn Island, Emily came as a four-year-old on that date in 1856. In fact, the very last sequence in the Cyclorama is where Emily holds her mother's hands as they start their new lives on Norfolk from Kingston Peer. It was a smith by profession, an important craft that was not practised on Pitcairn and was urgently needed on Norfolk.

This alone would place him at the heart of the island's economy. That would give George and Emily four children and two girls. One of the Bailey family's trademarks - and you will learn about this very early on in the trip - is that each and every one of them looks after their possessions and gives them on to the next one.

That is why this trip is a vivid story of the island. In the 1890s George had it sent from England and if he entered his forge today, he would probably know where everything is and most instruments would still work. Those humans were colonists who created a new realm and had to do most things themselves.

When George began building the house in 1875, he first had to resharpen his ax as he cut down and cut down his own tree, made his own nail and finally made his own srews.

It' s the way George and Emily made it, with additives like electrical and sanitary facilities, but without any major changes. It will take you through Norfolk's farming heritage. These are the backdrops of George and Emily's late 1800s garden showing the necessary clips of an island in isolation. In the 1920' and 30' Tom came back to Norfolk with semen from his journeys.

His interest in landscape design included Norfolk's first poleciana and these pioneering species are still on the area. It is a segregated orchard with low-temperature fruits founded after the Second World War by Tom and his only daughter, Marie, Edna's only son, who would in turn come to the area.

She was four years old when she moved to her parents' house until she died at the beginning of the year at the same time. She has a heritage just like her folks and grandchildren. It is attributed to her that she has developed tourism on the island of Norfolk into an "industry", and that is perhaps no overstatement.

Much of the today's favourite excursions and rides were designed and started by Marie, and when she was selling Marie's holidays she was retiring. Their wish was to tell more of the Pitcairn story to the Norfolk tourist than they could otherwise, and she quite literally incorporated her home.

Even in'retirement' she was the inspirational and sponsoring of the Cyclorama, which captured the story from Pitcairn to the colony on Norfolk. Pitcairn residents believe Queen Victoria was a major contributor to the Pitcairner family' s trip to Norfolk, hence Marie's homage to a nation and its story: Cyclorama, Queen Victoria's Garden and The Pitcairn Settlers Village.

This was Marie's way of loving and proudly share her cultural heritage with others. However, this lively and vibrant exhibition also has its own collections. What was initially constructed to accommodate Marie's coach and coach charter is a remarkable accumulation of Norfolk's economical and welfare heritage. This is the first phoneograph on the island that is thought to have been purchased by a whale skipper sometime in the 1910s.

It is hard to believe how blinded the islanders would have been at the turn of the 20th and 20th centuries to listen to taped material for the first invention. The Pitcairn Settler's Village Tours are the clearest, most interesting snapshots of Norfolk Island's tradition. It is also possible to see a copy of one of the first general merchandise shops on Norfolk.

Besides memorabilia for the sales of the trip, many objects from Norfolk shop window facades are long gone - and a 1934 diary with remarkable, all month still preserved. Since then, the Bailey farm has been handed down to a younger sister of Marie, Charles Christian-Bailey, the great-grandson of George and Emily.

The Pitcairn Settlers Village's teachings and heritage will be presented to the Norfolk audience and Charles added that he is planning to add a review of Marie's notable successes to the series. This is your kind of trip if you like it.
