Hello Ned's Beach! 🌊

Fringed by Lord Howe's iconic Kentia palms, this short track leads to one of the Island's most beautiful beaches. Snorkel straight off the beach, feed the fish, enjoy a BBQ or simply find a quiet spot to relax and disconnect 🏝

Beneath these lush Lord Howe canopies, dedicated conservation teams are working year-round to protect native forests, rare plants and wildlife from invasive weeds.

Over 700 introduced plant species have been recorded on Lord Howe Island. Of these, 270 have recognised invasive characteristics, making weed management a vital part of protecting this World Heritage island.

Visitors can also play a part through volunteer opportunities, including the long-running Friends of Lord Howe program and the Lord Howe Island Board's winter volunteer program.

Together, these efforts help ensure the Island's forests remain as breathtaking beneath the canopy as they are from above 🌿

June on Lord Howe 🌿🌊

Footsteps in the sand and waves rolling in. Winter at its simplest 🤍

Winter bathing Lord Howe style 💙

Less ice, more running into the ocean. The temperatures may be dropping but the water is always calling. If you're an early riser, a morning swim at Ned's Beach or the Lagoon is one of the best ways to start the day on Lord Howe Island 🌊✨

What is a must do on Lord Howe?

The walk to Malabar Hill and Kim’s Lookout is right up there on the list. Especially if you head out early in the morning. From the track entrance near Ned’s Beach, it takes only about 30 minutes to reach these incredible viewpoints and one of the Island’s most spectacular sunrise spots 💛☀️

Seabirds are one of the most defining sights of Lord Howe

The sooty terns are currently away from Lord Howe Island, spending the non-breeding season out across the Pacific Ocean. They will return in spring to breed, when large colonies form around the Island. At this time of year, the incredible Providence petrels are present and can be seen flying around the southern mountains in the afternoon. Thousands return to the Island during the season and their calls can be heard echoing across the slopes.

Each season is distinct and each species is unique to Lord Howe Island’s natural cycle 🕊️

Lately, we've had a fair bit of rain on Lord Howe 🌴🌧️🌴

Fresh air, lush greens and those colours over the lagoon… A reminder that on the Island, the weather might change fast but the beauty sticks around 🧡

“So extraordinary it is almost unbelievable… few islands, surely, can be so accessible, so remarkable, yet so unspoilt.” - Sir David Attenborough

In 1998, Sir David visited Lord Howe Island while filming The Life of Birds. During his time here, he climbed Mount Gower with Jack Shick and experienced the spectacle of the Island’s friendly Providence Petrel. Years later, he also praised conservation efforts protecting the Lord Howe Island Phasmid when visiting the breeding program at Melbourne Zoo.

We are incredibly proud that someone who has seen so much of the natural world held Lord Howe Island in such high regard and we continue to do our very best to protect this special place.

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David! Thank you for inspiring generations to treasure and protect our natural world 💚

Who else loves Blinky Beach? 🌊

Think rolling waves, salty breezes, and uninterrupted moments of calm surrounded by nature. Enjoy the views coming down from Transit Hill or wake up early, bring a keep cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the sunrise. This stretch of golden sand is the perfect place to simply be and reset 🌞💛

3 reasons to go on a guided Mount Gower hike right now:

☁️ On Mount Gower, clouds are drifting through the forest, bringing vital moisture that supports its rich plant life and creates a misty, atmospheric landscape — all part of what makes it one of Australia’s best day hikes.

🌱 Recognised globally for its ecological importance, the mountain is a focus of intense conservation to protect its fragile ecosystem from invasive threats and environmental changes.

🐦 Between March and September, #LordHoweIsland hosts one of the world’s rarest birds, the Providence Petrels. Each afternoon, they return to Mount Gower after a day at sea, treating onlookers to their stunning aerial displays!

For generations, the Jetty has been the Island’s gateway to the world 🏝️

It’s where early visitors stepped ashore from ships and where flying boats once touched down to connect Lord Howe Island with the mainland. Today, the jetty remains at the heart of Island life, welcoming essential freight, setting off point for fishing charters and sightseeing cruises, and a place where so many adventures begin 🛥️

Today we celebrate World Heritage Day 🏝️ 🏛️

Lord Howe is home to extraordinary biodiversity, dramatic volcanic landscapes and marine ecosystems found nowhere else on Earth.

Protected through many generations of local stewardship and care, the Island remains one of the world’s best-preserved natural havens. In 1982, the Lord Howe Island Group was listed as a @unesco World Heritage site for its outstanding natural beauty and unique biodiversity.

Ongoing conservation efforts, including a visitor cap of just 400 visitors at any one time, help ensure this paradise endures for future generations.

Here, conservation isn’t just a goal — it’s a way of life 💚

We’d love to see Lord Howe through your eyes. Share your favourite pristine spots and tag us in your posts 📍
