Norfolk Island's 2210 residents - many of them descendants of mutineers from HMS Bounty - have presented a petition to the United Nations accusing Australia of trying to "re-colonise" their tiny South Pacific island.

Human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson flew to New York from London to deliver the petition on Monday in a last-ditch attempt to help Norfolk retain its status as an autonomous territory.

The Australian government signalled last year it would end the island's local administration, and has already closed down its parliament, paving the way for rule from the Australian capital Canberra, nearly 2000 km away.

A regional council is planned and elections are scheduled for the middle of next year.

The volcanic island covers just over 34 square kilometres in the Pacific Ocean, between New Caledonia and New Zealand.
