St Barnabas Chapel, Norfolk Island

St Barnabas Chapel was the mother church of the Church of England's missionary work in Melanesia between 1880 and 1920 - it was built as a memorial to Bishop Patterson who was killed by natives in the Solomon Islands in 1871.

Lovely postcard and stamps, many thanks to Azzi for my first viewcard from Norfolk Island :)

WWF Card, Norfolk Island

Also still wishing for a view card from this tiny and unique island in the Pacific Ocean; but this one is close to my heart, because its pleading for help for the critically endangered Maui Dolphins, who only inhabit a small western coastal area of New Zealand's North Island, and the newest estimate is that only 55 of them exist in the wild. The main cause of the decline is gill net fishing, and there is a set net ban in force but only for a small area.

Thank you emphemera, and for the beautiful related stamps!!
