Only 350 people live on Lord Howe. The number of tourists on the island at a time is limited to 400. They are coming mostly buying packages (flights+lodge) – it is cheaper but sill very expensive for the backpacker. Camping on the island is unknown and forbidden. Life goes slowly…
They have one liquor store, one small museum and only two computers in the museum for public internet access – it is expensive / 3 AUD per 20 min/ and they are closing at 3 pm.
It was raining heavily in the morning in this p[aradise so I was sendind my e-mails and worrying about my afternoon flight.
But at 11 it was already clear, my Dash 8 arrived and I flew to Sydney /some passengers travelled without luggage because the overload of the small aircraft (they will check your weight before fligh)
From Sydney I took cheap Virgin Blue flight to Hobart. Welcome to Tasmania!
