Tasmania's Norfolk Plains were named to acknowledge the Norfolk Islanders expelled from the island in 1813, and resettled in this part of Tasmania (the area comprising the towns and rural properties around Longford, Cressy, Bishopsbourne, Illawarra and Perth).
A full program of events is planned over the weekend of 1 to 3 March, 2013. "A Gathering on the Norfolk Plains" will be held to commemorate 200 years since the Norfolk Islanders settled the plains.
Events include a performance, old time music and dance on the Village Green at Longford, guided bus tour and self-guided tours. There will also be a commemorative book and medallion.
