Why is Mount Gower on #LordHoweIsland considered one of the best day walks in @australia? 🧗🌴

Apart from the stunning views all the way up to the top, the Mount Gower Gnarled Mossy Cloud Forest lives alongside the world's most southern coral reef.

Some of the most crystal clear water you’ll ever see! 💠🏝️

#LordHoweIsland is located at the intersection of five major ocean currents, including the warm East Australian Current. The island’s unique marine ecosystem has very high levels of very rare species such as the Lord Howe Double Header Wrasse, the Ballina Angelfish and the McCulloch's anemonefish 🐠🐠🐠

@theseakin: "You can help safeguard Australia’s oceans right now by signing the petition (link in Lauren's bio) to reinstate vital marine sanctuary zones.

Australia was once a global champion of ocean conservation. In 2012, our network of marine protected areas covered over 3,000,000 square kilometres of ocean.

But in 2018, the Australian government downgraded protections to these marine ecosystems by more than 30%, opening huge areas to oil and gas exploration.

We visited Lord Howe Island because it is one of the few marine protected areas that was not downgraded in 2018. The largest downgrade occurred in The Coral Sea Marine Park, the cradle of The Great Barrier Reef.

Let’s call on the Australian government to fully protect 30 per cent of Australia’s ocean by 2030, prioritising the Coral Sea Marine Park, and First Nations stewardship of Sea Country.

“KIN” is a story of the ocean – the choices we can make, the power of community and what it looks like when we get things right.
