On 8 June 1856 a total of 194 people, descendants from the Bounty, arrived on Norfolk Island from Pitcairn Island aboard the Morayshire. 


There were 40 men, 47 women, 54 boys, and 53 girls. They arrived in cold, wet blustery conditions. Few had ever been to sea before, they were seasick, homesick and heartsick.  The journey of 6,00 km / 3,700 miles took five weeks. 


They arrived to a recently abandoned penal settlement set aside for the ‘worst of the worst’ it was full of ghosts and memories.  It was a large and frightening testimony of man’s inhumanity to man. 


The 1856 untold story tour follows their journey in the World Heritage Listed Kingston area, bringing the past to life with an audio aboard the coach, recounting stories of the families, where they lived and how they adapted to their new life on Norfolk Island.
