It is not often I come across an article about Palmerston that I like and this one was interesting . Click here or onto the caption of the photograph of Palmerston Island from the air. The right hand island is the one that everyone lives on, although the three families have access to their own coconut trees and other crops that they might grown on the other smaller islets around their lagoon. The focus of this story is the relatedness between those who live on the island. Many are not from the island but are married to those who are real Palmerston Islanders. There are only about 60 people on the island at any one time, and it is very isolated, sometimes not seeing a boat or getting supplies for several months.
