Frank Clune traces the island's dramatic arc from its early settlement as part of the British colonial penal system — one of the most brutal in the empire — through its later occupation by the descendants of the Bounty mutineers, transplanted from Pitcairn Island in 1856. Written in Clune's characteristically vivid and accessible style, the narrative brings to life the hardships, rebellions, and resilient human spirit that defined generations of islanders. The work presents a compelling portrait of isolation, survival, and identity, drawing on historical records and Clune's trademark flair for storytelling to illuminate a corner of history that is at once uniquely Australian and universally human.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887917281499,"sku":"2026200007779-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7c09a09a-e75e-470c-8a4e-5156884b5434.png?v=1781749140","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007779-secondhand-the-norfolk-island-story","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
