Norfolk Island travel guide

Another beautiful sunset seen from the West Coast of this little Island. It’s green, lush with a rocky coastline and scenery so stunning it’s breathtaking

If anyone here is lucky enough to find themselves on Norfolk Island I recommend the short hike down to Anson Bay. I went down and has the whole beach to myself! There's quite a current so remember to stay in control if you swim!
