Bounty Day 2016

Media Release

3 June 2016

The Bounty Day procession is held in the World Heritage listed Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area.

Lorraine and I look forward to welcoming community members to Government House on Bounty Day for the traditional refreshment stop.

Bounty Day on Norfolk Island represents the anniversary of the arrival of settlers from Pitcairn Island in 1856.

I trust all will enjoy the day with family and friends. Bounty Day continues to be celebrated as a public holiday on Norfolk Island.
