Lord Howe Island - A journey you don't want to rush!

There's so much to see on #lordhoweisland and one of the best ways to soak it all in is to hire a push bike from Wilson's Hire Services or your guest house.
Cruise along Lagoon Road to discover hidden, secluded beaches, and if you ride to the island’s ends, you’ll find easy walking trails waiting for you. Stop by the Catalina site near Milky Way Apartments and Old Settlement Beach, then head south to soak up the beauty of Little Island 🌴🌴🌴

With mesmerising views and a 25km/h speed limit, slow down, take your island time, and savour every moment 🚲🌅

Australia’s Southernmost Coral Reefs 🪸🐠

Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs, captured by @jonnyfuhri, are part of the Lord Howe Marine Park and hold the title of the southernmost open-ocean platform coral reefs on Earth.
Remote and ecologically rich, these reefs have been protected since 1987 and sit approximately 150 km north of #LordHoweIsland. Perched atop volcanic seamounts in the Lord Howe Seamount Chain, they form a vital part of Australia’s underwater heritage 🌊
