Norfolk Island History

For such a small place there is just so much history that was created on Norfolk Island over the past spanning years. In 1400AD the very first island inhabitants on Norfolk Island, called the Polynesians, called this place home for many years but soon the numbers dwindled and after time the only remaining evidence that they existed was their stone tools and few rats that were left behind. Only to be found by the next explorer, Captain James Cook who named Norfolk Island. Norfolk Island is now an ideal holiday destination with a miriad attractions and great accommodation and duty free shopping.
