The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Kingston, Norfolk Island
Kingston is the capital of Norfolk Island, located off the East coast of Australia. The small island was first settled by Polynesian explorers, later coming to the attention of Europe when it was discovered by Captain Cook. The island was used as a penal colony, and was infamous for its brutal treatment of prisoners. Times have changed, and the peaceful island is now popular with nature and sport enthusiasts interested in bushwalking, hiking through the rainforest, or diving in the reefs.

Shows how rough early Norfolk Islander had it. A good incite into length of life in both Penal settlements & when the Pitcainers arrived. So sad children only surviving for short lengths of time

Nice spot to see sharks feeding from the fishermen who clean their trumpeter fish on the pier. Also, beautiful to hike up the hill about 300 metres to see Kingston, Pier, Islands and Slaughter Bay.
5. The Salthouse Kingston

Reviewed By Ellemay - Sydney, Australia
The Salthouse is located overlooking beautiful Emily Bay at the Kingston Historic Area. It was built in 1848 and was extremely important to the survival of the penal settlement. There were no refrigerators so the salt was essential for preserving the meat products.
