Natural wonders of Lord Howe Island

Lord Howe Island is a birdwatcher's paradise with 14 species of seabird breeding on the island. They come in their thousands - petrels, shearwaters, tropic-birds, terns, noddys and masked boobies. Take the tracks leading to nesting sites at Clear Place, Muttonbird Point, Malabar Hill and Mt Eliza as well as North Bay and Neds Beach. Lord Howe also boasts more than 130 permanent and migratory bird species, among them the woodhen, unique to the island. 

Walking or cycling is the only way to get around the island, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the birdlife and stunning flora. Stroll through native kentia palm and banyan tree forests and keep an eye out for plants that are unique to the island such as the red mountain rose and wedding lily. 

Lord Howe is surrounded by the world's southernmost coral reef and crystal-clear waters teeming with colourful marine life and rare coral. With over 50 dive sites in the surrounding marine park, it's one of the best spots for scuba diving in NSW. See beautiful corals at Middle Beach or handfeed fish at Ned's Beach.
