Can you see Lord Howe on your map? The Lord Howe Island is only 11 km long, with an airstrip and settlement in the middle. On the north there are little hills covered by lush tropical forest. East side offers high, picturesque cliffs and a beach where hordes of friendly fish long up to 1m (kingfish) are coming to be feeded from your hands. On the south There are two high, steep peaks – rising to 777 and 870 meters. OIn the west side there is beautiful lagoon with corals and color fish – you can go there to snorkel or to see this unique world from glass bottom boat.
I was climbing to one of the lowes peaks – Mt Eliza – 147 m for the great views. National Park covers most of the island and they have well-mainained trails so you can walk all day around assuming that you will have enough power in the tropical heat. Paradise. But very expensive for the backpacker – they charge 40 dollars per 2-hours boat tour!
