Abstract
At the heart of the large placenaming tapestry of Norfolk Island, some aspects of which I have reported in Placenames Australia, the island's almost 400 house names present a snapshot of the society, its architectural practices, and how irony, humour and memory are used toponymically. This is as true of Norfolk Island as it is of any Australian community. House names provide a canvas on which is displayed the sociology, architectural practices and social memory of a community. House name signs in both English and Norfolk (the Norfolk Island language) pepper the island's lush green landscape.
