Last full day

The day started with 9 holes of golf at the Norfolk Island Golf Club, beautiful from above...



...and from on the course







Then to Emily Bay for another swim. It was at its best




We even had a bit of a show put on when the tractor came down to take out the glass bottom boat


After lunch and finishing off our shopping, we headed off to do the National Park again, this time to walk the Palm Valley Circuit, hoping also to see what are considered quite rare Norfolk Island green parrots.



First siting was a brilliantly coloured Pacific Wren


The parrots proved illusive on the circuit walk, although that didn't detract from the scenery




We decided to wait at the exit viewpoint to see if any parrots came. The view was quite stunning...


...and at last a group of 5 parrots flew by, settling, but in a rather far off tree


We went to dinner at Dino's, in an old Norfolk pine home with lots of character...



..including traditional Norfolk woven hats and baskets


..and tasty food
