Norfolk Island, located 800 miles east of Brisbane, recently hosted a visit from the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The Governor-General was welcomed by Mr. Wilson and other leading citizens. The visit included a picnic, a departure from typical royal formalities. The island has historical ties to the mutineers of the Bounty, with descendants like Benjamin and Fletcher Christian present. Despite its small size and hilly terrain, Norfolk Island hosts the Gloucester Cup race. The island is peaceful, with only one policeman, and the visit was a significant event for the community.
