Have you had a moment at Lover's Bay? 🌲🌲

The two Norfolk pines at Lover’s Bay once served as channel markers for boats entering the lagoon. They still stand today, overlooking one of the Island’s many secluded bays - Now a quiet place where people come to mark meaningful moments with those they love 💛

White Terns (aka fairy terns) on Lord Howe Island don’t build nests at all.
They lay a single egg right on a bare tree branch, one of the most unusual nesting habits of any seabird 🌲🪹

Here's an adorable baby bird captured by @taalidj_photography 🤍

The summit of Mount Gower on Lord Howe Island rises to approximately 875 metres above sea level, forming the Island’s southern high point. Visitor access to this remarkable summit forest is possible via a guided climb with Dean or Kayla from @lhienvirotours and Jack from @seatosummitexpeditions, ensuring both safety and environmental protection 💚

The Little Mountain Palm (Lepidorrhachis mooreana) is a rare, endemic palm found exclusively within the misty summit forest of Mount Gower. Those who make the climb are fortunate to encounter this ancient species in its only natural habitat, a privilege experienced by very few visitors to Lord Howe Island 🌴

Lord Howe Island was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1982, recognised as “a remarkable example of isolated oceanic islands, born of volcanic activity more than 2,000 m under the sea,” with spectacular topography and numerous endemic species, especially birds 🏝️🌺

To protect the Island’s delicate ecosystem, visitor numbers are capped at just 400 people at any one time, making it an ideal destination for those seeking peace, quiet, and unspoiled nature 🏖️
