Overview
This station is situated off the coast of Norfolk Bay on the Tasman Peninsula. It was opened in 1841 and closed in 1851.
Like other probation stations the school and chapel went hand in hand, the school room was also used as the chapel. Sometimes the schoolmaster would also be the preacher.
The Roman Catholic clergyman would visit on occasions. The Protestants were separated from the Roman Catholics and would worship in their own ways.
