Isle of Norfolk. Phonebook pages. Nickname only.....
Short story of Norfolk as a punishment settlement. Norfolk was established to supply ropes of linen fiber, flagpoles, and poles of pines of Norfolk Island and also because it was not inhabited. This was also an island heaven with abundant vulcanic soil. The island was this times run as a prison for the worst of them.
There' d be no getting away from Norfolk Island. In this second stage, free colonists were not emboldened to set up, but some of the best educated prisoners were permitted to run small ranches throughout the island. As a result of the huge state expenditures for the prison, many of the finest granite houses in Georgia are still standing, as in Port Arthur, Tasmania.
It was a large jail constructed in the 1840' and needed large army shacks, large camps and commissariat camps, officers' head offices, a large medical center, etc. and high standard apartments for the jail and the island's commanders. The Kingston remains the administrative and maritime center of the island. Stage Three - 1856 - In the third stage, some of the old brick houses were demolished or reduced to rubble.
However, the main characteristic of this time was the launch of 194 Pitcairn Islanders in 1856. And Norfolk stayed insulated and largely overlooked. The governor of NSW (the UK Crown official responsible for the island) ordered that the Pitcairn Islanders may no longer live in the former prison facilities in Kingston.
That was in 1908, just before the Commonwealth administration took command. Ressentiments of this alteration resulted in fire and some nice houses that were demolished. 1893 Norfolk got a wire and submarine connection to the rest of the globe via Canada. As soon as it became an area of the new Aussie federation, things started to improve a little.
During the Second World War, the GOA constructed a runway for defense missions. After the war the flight was resumed and now the major connection between Norfolk and Australia is by plane. There has also been increased investment by the German authorities in other institutions on the island, such as the Botanical Garden and all the restorations in Kingston.
