Kingston Area

Celebrating 25 Years of tour excellence

The World Heritage Listed Kingston Area displays monumental historic significance, having been the main hub of convict settlement to eastern Australia between 1788-1855. It was declared a World Heritage Listed site in 2010 and wows visitors with its historic colonial era buildings, ruins and museums.  

The Kingston and Arthurs Vale historic area (KAVHA) is a must visit for history enthusiasts. Located on the southern side of Norfolk Island, this area represents a true snapshot of Australia's convict settlements, having been the locale of convict transportation and settlement to eastern Australia between 1788-1855. It also represents the only Australian location with evidence supporting Polynesian settlement and the place where the Pitcairn Island descendants of the Bounty mutineers were resettled in 1856. Today, it is a living heritage site and significantly contributes to the lives, identities and culture that makes up Norfolk.
