The one historical site Norfolk Island s extensive and dramatic British seaside penal ruins form part of the Unesco World Heritage Australian Convict Sites listing. Rivalling Port Arthur, Tasmania, for breadth and being relatively intact, the Kingston and Arthur s Vale Historic Area includes the beautifully-preserved Government House.
