If you’re curious about Norfolk Island’s past, this is the place to start digging. The Royal Engineers Office – or REO for short – is also referred to as the Kingston Information Centre and is set within a heritage building dating back to Norfolk’s days as a hellish penal colony.

Here, you can buy tickets for entry to the Norfolk Island Museums located within the Kingston UNESCO World Heritage Site, grab a drink and pore over the books and souvenirs for sale. The shelves are stocked with riveting reads filled with blow-by-blow accounts of Norfolk stories and lore, as well as up-to-date advice on what hidden discoveries await visitors to our island.
