Loading jetty at Kingston on Norfolk Island. The island’s rugged coastline means that supply ships cannot anchor close and cargo has to be loaded onto lighters towed out by launches, five tonnes at a time. Depending on the wind, the monthly supplies are landed either here or on the other side of the island at Cascade Bay. Norfolk Island, Southwest Pacific, Australia
