New South Wales Islands
Lord Howe Island is a small island perfect for
exploring by foot or on a bicycle. The gorgeous landscape surrounds
a wide lagoon and coral reef, and also includes several pretty
beaches. Towards the south of the island are two mountains Mt.
Gower and Mt. Lidgbird. You can climb the mountains, go fishing,
snorkeling and diving in the beautiful waters as well as go surfing
from Blinky Beach. There is also a large amount of wildlife on
the island, particularly several different types of seabird.
There is plenty of lodge style accommodation
on the island, although it can work out cheaper if you pay for
a package including your flight over to the island. Nature tours are also available.
Norfolk Island is further north west from Lord
Howe Island. It is fairly expensive, although has spectacular
scenery and many unique species of flora. The island is a small
8km by 5km, and a blend of plantlife and rocky coastline, with
the north of the island being National Park. There are great views
from Mt. Bates and Mt. Pitt in the National Park and a number
if walking tracks. It was known as ‘hell in the Pacific’ by convicts
who were sent there.
As the islands population didn’t grow several
of the Pitcairn Islanders were sent there. Kingston is the main
town on the island, with many pretty, restored buildings. Accommodation
ranges from B&B to motels and works more expensive than paying
for a package holiday. You will also see a wide range of restaurants
serving snacks to 3 course meals. The island is easy to get around,
and car hire is exceptionally cheap.
