Keywords: outdoor The RAHS would like to invite you to join us for our next webinar at 7pm Wednesday, 24 September: ‘Norfolk Island – where the past meets the present’. President of the Professional Historians Association NSW/ACT Bruce Baskerville will offer participants the opportunity to learn more about the island paradise. It will include a brief overview of Norfolk’s Polynesian history (c.1100 – c.1650), the island’s convict history and heritage (1788 – 1856), the Pitcairner settlement after 1856, the Melanesian Mission (1860 – 1919), and some of its complex 20th century history as Australia’s first island territory (1914+). It will include images of the spectacular scenery and natural beauty of this isolated region of the South Pacific that remains a significant but often overlooked part of the history of New South Wales, Australia and the Pacific Islands, and also touch upon the unique creole language of the islanders. All you need is a computer and Internet connection to take part.
