Kingston #2

Continuing the photographic tour of Kingston from the previous album, we commence at the eastern end of Quality Row where cattle are grazing contentedly outside the Golf Club House which was formerly the Stipendiary Magistrate's Quarters, then walk through the historic Kingston Cemetery where headstones reveal the resting place of high officers and humble convicts, ruthless insurgents and their victims, Pitcairn patriarchs and strangers, who all now lie in serene surroundings near Cemetery Bay. Hear the story of Bloody Bridge before watching the Sunset over Norfolk Island.
