For those of you who haven't visited Norfolk yet, I took these photos to try and capture what our island looks like overall. In one of the pictures you can see our house (but I'm going to leave you guessing). Of course, the photos don't do the view justice. It's tricky to capture distance, size and scale in a picture, but hopefully
these photos at least give you a sense of what the terrain looks like;
very hilly, very green and surrounded by blue, LOTS of blue!
At approximately 316 metres above sea level, Mt Pitt is the second highest spot on Norfolk Island (Mt Bates, the highest point, is just two metres higher). From the Mt Pitt lookout you can almost scan the entire island with a 360 degree view. At times it's easy to forget we live on a small lonely island, but a short drive up the windy road to Mt Pitt helps to regain perspective! For me, it's not until I look down over the landscape from a height that I remember how tiny and isolated our home is! We are surrounded by SO much water!!!!!!
