The Young grove

Many Island families and their descendants came home for the Sesquicentenary 8 June 2006. One such family was the Young family. The Youngs had been one of the families who had later returned to Pitcairn Island after their settling in Norfolk Island. There are only a couple of family descendants of the Youngs now living on the Island

They wished to plant some trees to have a lasting memory of their trip and it was arranged that we would plant down the side of the big paddock at Fredicks Aege opposite the site of Aunt Lils old home - one of the  Young family properties. As time was of the essence I asked Jimbo my husband to bring his small excavator and predig the holes. The Youngs thought this was amusing but were extremely appreciative that they didnt have to dig the holes.

The trees were quickly put in and a day later we returned to get a fence up around them.
