Burnt Pine

Burnt Pine is the small main town of Norfolk Island, an Australian territory in the Pacific between New Caledonia and New Zealand, reached by flights from Sydney and Brisbane. Its one street of shops, cafés and duty-free stores runs past the airport, and most visitors stay a week on a package. Around it the island is a patchwork of pasture and tall Norfolk pines, with cattle that have right of way on the roads. St Barnabas Chapel, built for the Melanesian Mission, has windows by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. Cascade Bay, the old whaling landing, and the beach at Anson Bay are a short drive away.
