Kingston from the Air

ABOUT THIS IMAGE

View over Kingston from a light place in 2012. Kingston is Norfolk Island’s most expansive lowland area and has become the epicentre of its many eras of history, largely for this reason, and has hosted four distinct periods of settlement from around 1000AD to the present day. Today’s Norfolk Islander’s refer to Kingston in the Norf’k language as ‘Daun’taun’ (Down town) and it is a magnificent and hauntingly beautiful place. As well as presenting one of the most impressive examples of convict transportation in the Southern Hemisphere, Kingston is a living heritage site and a community hub. It is a place for gathering, for sharing, for enjoyment, for work, for worship and for remembrance.
