Oceania Chapter Update: An Armchair Journey to Pitcairn Island

On Saturday, Aug. 26, we were treated to a wonderful presentation on Pitcairn Island by Mark Blum from the TCC NorCal Chapter. Thank you Mark. We all thoroughly enjoyed the presentation that provided a look at the history of Pitcairn Island as well as life today on this remote island. It was great that you could join us and thank you again for your time.

Mark suggested some interesting reading for us as well as a couple of option to get there.
