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.
