Lord Howe Island

Lord Howe Island rises from the Lord Howe Rise in the Tasman Sea off New South Wales, and its remote position has shaped a small, carefully managed island community. The crescent-shaped island is dominated by Mount Gower, reaching 875 metres, while a lagoon is enclosed by the world’s southernmost coral reef. The Lord Howe Island Group was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1982 for its distinctive ecosystems, including endemic plants, birds and marine life. Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball sighted the island in 1788 and named it for the Earl Howe.
