It's that wonderful time of the year: Coral spawning on #LordHoweIsland! 🪸🪸🪸

The sheltered lagoon and surrounding waters host the world's most southern coral reef and provide perfect conditions for coral gardens to thrive in a highly delicate ecosystem. Once a year, we're incredibly fortunate to experience the reef come to life as corals spawn and reproduce.

Here captured by island naturalist Ian Hutton, the coral spawn turned the lagoon a vibrant green colour!

Where would you go for a special moment? 😍

The two Norfolk pines at Lover's Bay on #LordHoweIsland were initially used as channel markers for boats navigating into the lagoon. Today, these majestic trees still stand tall and are constantly surrounded by love, as this charming and secluded bay is often chosen as the spot to celebrate special moments with loved ones 🧡

How soothing are these sounds of paradise? 🌿🪸🌺

#LordHoweIsland is an outstanding example of an oceanic island ecosystem that developed from volcanic activity, which then eroded and formed a platform to receive sedimentary deposits. The oldest exposed rocks are found on Malabar Hill and are approximately 6.9 million years old.
