A stitched panorama, best viewed large. I was very glad to have a weather resistant camera and lens at this point. :-)

You just have to be impressed by the originality of place names like "Intermediate Hill" ! Either way, it's about half way along the island (it's the hill at the left of my previous image) and this is a stitched panorama of the view, covering about 180 degrees and the length of the island. It gives a good view of the lagoon and the coral barrier reef. The island is about 80% covered in natural forest. View large.

Lord Howe Island sits 600km east of Australia in the Tasman Sea. Some 6.5 million years ago, the island was an active volcano, now these residual peaks dominate the landscape. Mt Lidgbird (L) is 777M and Mt Gower (R) is 875M. Here's a suitable (and slightly different) musical link. Best viewed large. HFF, everyone.

On a back road through the tall forests of East Gippsland in Victoria. Tree ferns at lower right. NB: now re-edited on my return home, more options than on the laptop. :)
