Pollyana

I wouldn't mind visiting as it intrigues me as do all the penal colony ialnds, and my interest was sparked again this week when BE actually got an email from the Customs & Immigration Service there saending us some useful links.

My MiL went there a few years back; she did one of these organised tours of elderly folk, thoroughly enjoyed herself and cos she had walking problems she got wheelchair transport at the airports, priority boarding etc.
I'll never forget when we met her at Brisbane Airport, and she said we had to open her suitcase while she said goodbye to her new friends. when we did so, we discovered the new friends had bought loads of cheap spirits, filled her suitcase with them cos they reckoned she wouldn't get stopped, and they had all her clothes in THEIR cases Prrobably the only time my MiL revealed she had a wicked side - I just wish she'd done it more often!

We are involved in building a hospital and other major infrastructure on the island. It has regional status for those on WHV

Thats useful, thanks - don't expect it would occur to most people to think of Norfolk

We are doing a feasibility in 2014 on a large call centre to be based there. So potentially this could be a great place to start your WHV trip to Australia.

Lets see couple of hundred young people on an island for 6 months? Music Festivals etc?

it's a very expensive place to live on though, isn't it?

Do you have a reference for that?

It isn't listed on the regional postcode list (postcode for Norfolk Island = 2899) and the rules for the island are different due to it being an external territory.
