Entering No. 10 Quality Row is like time-travelling back to 1844, when Norfolk Island had one of the harshest penal colonies in Australia. While the unlucky prisoners of the era were confined to much bleaker quarters, the foreman of local building works, Thomas Seller, got to live in this lovely house, now a museum.

Wander through the restored interior for a history lesson, discovering more about Seller and other former inhabitants, such as Isaac Christian and Miriam Young, Bounty mutineer descendants who lived at No. 10 with their 15 children. You’ll even see furniture and ceramic objects made by the convicts!

No. 10 is located within the Kingston UNESCO World Heritage Site where you’ll find plenty more heritage buildings and convict ruins along the coastline.
