Norfolk Island National Park
Mission Road and surrounding parkland, Norfolk Island, Australia
Norfolk Island National Park is the island’s best all-round nature experience, combining forest walks, lookouts, birdlife, botanic garden trails and conservation landscapes in a single protected area. The park is a sanctuary for threatened species and is one of the best places to encounter the island’s native plants and birds, including the Norfolk Island green parrot. Its tracks range from easy garden strolls to more strenuous bushwalks, so it suits both casual walkers and keen hikers. This is the place to choose if you want Norfolk Island’s scenery without committing to a full-day excursion. The park’s visitor information, Discovery Centre and ranger-guided walks make it especially useful for first-time visitors who want an easy introduction to the island’s ecology and geography.
