23.01.2022 Although only 11km long and 2km wide, Lord Howe is laced with dozens of delightful, well marked walking trails. . . . This view is breathtaking and we think the Currawong is pretty special too! : @dc.nz

23.01.2022 Dive Buddies- Green Sea Turtle & Spangled Emperor. Green Turtles are a common sight here at lord Howe Island. Adult Green Turtles have a carapace length of bet...ween 83 & 114cm & can weigh up to 190kg. They breed every 2 years but not on Lord Howe. They lay an average of 115 eggs which are incubated for approximately 60 days. #visitlordhowe #lordhoweisland #reefnbeyond See more

22.01.2022 This serious-looking guy is the Double Header Wrasse (Coris Bulbifron). Endemic to Lord Howe Island, and Middleton and Elizabeth Reefs this large blue-grey... fish grows up to 80 cm in length and is characterised by a prominent bump on the front of its head, hence its name. Strong, pointed teeth protruding from the mouth enabling the Double Header to pry open shells, and crush crabs and sea urchins. No wonder he looks a little savage eek Easily spotted snorkelling the reef surrounding Lord Howe or straight off the beach at Ned's. Not long now till you can discover the fish at Lord Howe Island for yourself! : @seawindpete See more

21.01.2022 Spanish Dancer ( ) Like many nudibranchs, the Spanish Dancer is vividly coloured. However, unlike most, it can grow up to 60cm in length... making it the largest in the world. Another unique feature of the Spanish Dancer is its defence mechanism in which it undulates its body to swim, giving the appearance of a Flamenco dancer’s red skirt, hence its name.

21.01.2022 Red-tailed Tropic bird These large majestic seabirds can be seen flying around the cliffs of Malabar Hill on Lord Howe Island from November to June each ye...ar. Interesting fact - The hill was originally named North Peak; it was renamed to commemorate an incident when Hielavapa, one of four young men from the Malabar coast of India, died after falling from the peak in December 1881 while gathering tail feathers from the tropicbirds which nested there. Lord Howe Island is said to have the largest breeding concentration of the species in the world. : @machielderover @visitnsw @Australia See more

20.01.2022 The weather on the island for the last two weeks has been as good as it gets. However with some rain on the horizon and snow in the ranges one thing is certain....

19.01.2022 Walk the Little Island track between March and November to view the spectacular aerial courtship displays of the Providence Petrel. One of the world’s ra...rest birds, the Providence Petrel returns to the island to nest in the southern mountains and can be ‘called’ out of the air, landing at your feet perfectly unfazed. Hike Mt Gower to hear a cacophony high overhead - the cries of 30,000 seabirds, many of them circling the mountain like a coronet. Fun fact, the name "providence" was given by 18th-century colonists on Norfolk Island because the birds' arrival saved them from starvation after their supply ship was wrecked - they harvested the birds and their eggs by the thousands. : @henry_brydon See more

19.01.2022 A storm rolls across the Lord Howe Island lagoon in front of the iconic peaks of Mount Lidgebird and Mount Gower. Winter has brought some unstable weather ...conditions with a low-pressure system travelling southeast of Lord Howe Island recently. Damaging winds were recorded with average wind speeds reaching 35-40 knots. The highest wind gust was 59 knots (109km/h) This weather resulting in entertaining and ever-changing conditions is always a beautiful reminder of just how remote our little speck of paradise is. : @justingilligan Visit NSW Australia.com See more

19.01.2022 The hike to Muttonbird Point is an incredibly underrated trail in our opinion. With secret views like this is really shouldn’t be. . With less than a kilometre... between Blinky beach and the Lagoon, you can see just how short our island runway really is. . . : @alannajgreen #lordhoweisland #travel #hike #visitnsw See more

18.01.2022 The Lord Howe Island Woodhen It could be touted as one of the greatest comebacks in the last 50 years! The Woodhen was alarmingly close to extincti...on in 1980 when numbers declined to a population of only 16 because of human exploitation and predation by introduced pigs and cats. But thanks to the most successful conservation program for an Australian vertebrate, today the population of this flightless endemic species has been restored to at least 245 individuals.

18.01.2022 I woke up late the day after returning from Albury, and checked the weather. The storms coming from the north were coming fast. I had a decision to make; depart... right away, or be stuck here for nearly a week. Not long later, we were in the car on the way to the airport. I filed an IFR flight plan, and took off, first stop Taree. This was chosen because it was pretty close to my first island destination, and also had self-serve fuel payable by credit card, fairly rare in Australia and NZ. The weather en route was not great, and on arriving at Taree it had deteriorated to ~600ft ceilings and a 20+kt crosswind. My landing was not impressive, but at least I was down. I hung out with a couple of pilots in the flying club until the rain eased enough to refuel, donned my drysuit, and took off once again. I flew a little up the coast before turning out to sea, and the first long ocean crossing in a while. There was about a 20kt headwind, right on the nose, that would have me arriving about an hour before sunset. I used the InReach to get updated weather as I went; it was windy, rainy, and cloudy at my destination, but all just about within sensible limits. I touched down in howling wind and driving rain, having snuck in right at minimums off the GPS approach. The airport was deserted and I kept my drysuit on as I secured the airport, otherwise I'd have been instantly soaked through. There was no phone signal so I used the InReach to communicate with my aunt who was trying to find me somewhere to stay. Somehow, the available room we'd confirmed before departure had been given away to walk-in traffic, on a tiny island 400+ miles from anywhere!

17.01.2022 Lord Howe Island is one of five ECO Destinations that have been awarded a place in the Top 100 2020 Sustainable Destinations list, Trina Shepherd, Executive Off...icer of Lord Howe Island Tourism said we are so proud to be recognised in the Sustainable Top 100 Destinations and on our way to be getting the big green tick. This gives us even more recognition for all the sustainable practises and conservation projects we have undertaken as a small island.

14.01.2022 Repost Scott Portelli "Lord Howe Island is one of my favourite places to visit. This award-winning image was captured at the famous Ned’s beach where emperors, kings, and drummers come to greet you in the shallows".

14.01.2022 Less than two hours from the mainland, but another world entirely; find yourself intoxicated by the colours, creatures and atmosphere of Lord Howe. The bea...utiful part about Lord Howe Island is that is rarely changes, and if it does it is very very slowly. With jaw dropping views like this you won't find it hard to slow down the pace, switch off and reconnect with nature. : @lettinglukeloose See more

14.01.2022 Snorkelling in the Admiralty Islands, just off the North Eastern coast of #LordHoweIsland.

13.01.2022 #Repost @australiangeographic This aerial perspective of the fringing reef on the outer edge of the Lord Howe Island lagoon was captured by Justin Gilligan ...@justingilligan. Much of the lagoon has healthy coral growth in the sheltered water. Outside the reef lagoon, coral growth can also be prolific in deeper areas protected from heavy wave action, says Justin. The coral here is growing on rocky reefs rather than forming a true coral reef, but is just as spectacular and bathed in crystal clear water.

10.01.2022 Throw back to the days of flying into Lord Howe Island by Flying boat. The majestic Sandringhams 'Pacific Chieftain', 'Islander' and 'Beachcomber', eac...h able to carry 42 passengers, took off from Rose Bay in Sydney Harbour to touch down in Lord Howe's beautiful lagoon some three hours later. Flights were timed to arrive at the Island one hour before high tide to ensure take-off on the full tide; this meant that departure from Rose Bay often occurred in the early hours of the morning, seeming to add to the romance and drama of the trip. During this time, the lagoon and jetty (where passengers alighted after being ferried by launch from the flying boats) were virtually the social centre of the Island. Islanders and visitors alike gathered to meet incoming passengers, collect parcels, or farewell departing guests with frangipani and hibiscus leis. Lei’s were thrown into the water from departing launches, inevitably washing ashore to signify their wearer’s return. : Lord Howe Island Museum See more

10.01.2022 After a great night's sleep at Waimarie, Peter and Sharon offered to take me out for a tour around the island. This was a treat that I couldn't say no to, and I... had the time for it given that I was now a day ahead of schedule. I first went with Peter to refuel the aircraft, wanting to catch the fueler before he left; the commercial flight for that morning had been cancelled by the bad weather on the mainland. We set off in their car for a tour, covering pretty much the entire road network! Stunning beaches, beautiful mountains, and a fascinating dose of history both from the museum and from their stories about the island's past. Particularly interesting was the tale of Sir Francis Chichester's crossing of the Tasman, with a long stop at Lord Howe enforced by a storm wrecking his aircraft in the bay. After touring around, Sharon and Peter dropped me back at the aircraft and we said our goodbyes. After departure, I first headed south to see Ball's Pyramid, the largest free-standing ocean pyramid in the world. I returned to Lord Howe, and set course for Norfolk Island, several hours to the east. Once again the HF radio didn't work, so I used airliners for position relays, and after a few hours cruising through pleasant conditions Norfolk Island came into sight. Once again I'd had a headwind to contend with, but running the engine at high power for the break-in made up for it a little. After landing, I waited until given the all clear by bio-security, and opened up the doors. The customs and immigration man was friendly and helpful, and even ended up giving me a ride to the hotel. That's good service! The full write-up and more photos are at https://katamarino.co.uk//round-the-world-new-zealand-day/

08.01.2022 All of the island is now shut down , no tourists, no non residents allowed. This could go on for many months, depending on how this is handled on the mainland. All tourists should be gone by Thursday 26 March. Best wishes to all those affected.

08.01.2022 Lord Howe Island Board COVID-19 UPDATE Friday 31 July 2020 Confirmation has just been received that the Minister for Health has signed a new Public He...alth Order (No.3) for Lord Howe Island. The Order will effectively continue restrictions on travel to the island until 31 August. Details will be further confirmed when the Order is able to be viewed. However, it is apparent that: Persons wishing to access Lord Howe Island will continue to need approval and will be subject to quarantine in the same fashion as has applied up until now. Those arriving before 31 August will need to complete their full 14 days quarantine effectively meaning that some people’s quarantine will continue until 14 September. Both Qantas and Eastern Air Services have been waiting to hear news and will be managing how to deal with those who have booked flights who might not be now able to arrive on-island. : @iancrolfe See more

05.01.2022 Qantas continues to review its network in light of the impact COVID-19 has had on travel demand right across the country with ongoing border restrictions for so...me routes. Adjustments to the airline’s turboprop network in Queensland will see its Q200 aircraft, which service Lord Howe Island, solely operate out of Sydney. This means customers wishing to travel between Brisbane and Lord Howe Island when Queensland border restrictions ease will be able to do so by connecting on flights via Sydney.

05.01.2022 Sitting halfway between my favourite lookout on the island and the most secluded beach on the island, Kim’s Lookout has always felt to me like a strange no-man’...s land. Even on the few occasions I have made the climb up specifically for a photo from this spot, I have always been met with an uneasy feeling of ‘missing out’, knowing what lies just beyond the ridge. Lord Howe Island is the kind of place that can leave you spoilt for choice, and anxious over how best to spend your precious time there. I’ve learned to to sit back, put the camera down and soak it all in for a few seconds - who knows when you might end up stuck in a pandemic, dreaming of just a few moments back up on that mountaintop.
