If you talk about Norfolk Island, it is on the stock map (NNW of NZ, or WSW of Noumea) from the start and is useful to fly AC between Australia, New Caledonia and NZ... and is also a good place to base patrol AC

Not AFAIK - they went to Pitcairn Island - considerably further East...

Settlement by Pitcairn Islanders
On 6 June 1856, another group of exiles arrived at Norfolk Island. These were the descendants of Tahitians and the HMAV Bounty mutineers, resettled from the Pitcairn Islands which had become too small for their growing population. The British government had permitted the transfer of the Pitcairners to Norfolk, which was thus established as a colony separate from New South Wales but under the administration of that colony's governor.
The Pitcairn people occupied many of the buildings remaining from the penal settlements, and gradually established their traditional farming and whaling industries on the island. Although some families decided to return to Pitcairn in 1858 and 1863, the island's population continued to slowly grow as the island accepted settlers, often arriving with whaling fleets.
