Norfolk Island (Norfolk : Norfuk Ailen) is a small inhabited island in the Pacific Ocean located between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia, and along with two neighbouring islands forms one of Australia's external territories. Norfolk Island is the only non-mainland Australian territory to have achieved self-governance.
The only major natural resource of Norfolk Island is fish. There are no major arable lands or permanent farmlands, though about 25% of the island is a permanent pasture. There is no irrigated land. The population is 1841 (2004 est) and the capital is Kingston.
