In the late 18th century, Norfolk Island became one of the British Empire's most fearsome prisons. When convicts were deemed unfit to be kept on the mainland, the authorities would ship them to this island, around 1,600 kilometres away from Botany Bay. In those days, it wasn't a pleasant place to stay, and few people got out alive. However, nowadays, the prison site is a wonderful tourist attraction, and a unique window into Australian history. If you want to see one of the key locations in the Aussie past, flights to Norfolk Island are a must. When you visit, some of the major highlights include:
