History of Norfolk Island Vlog - Kim Hewitt

Welcome to the Kim Hewitt channel. Adventures of a travelling couple. Working to travel.

Told by one of the most enthusiastic tour guides we have ever met.

The World Heritage listed (2010) Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area

(KAVHA) on Norfolk Island holds many historical treasures from Australia's past Colonial and Penal history. It also holds Australia's only connection to Polynesia along with a present day unique community full of its melded old English and Polynesian roots. Enjoy a short walk and immersion in the past and be surprised how close the present-day community is to the 230 year old Bounty/Pitcairn story. All of this is encapsulated in the KAVHA precinct.
