9 weird & wild things to do on Lord Howe Island


Here, volcanic cliffs drop vertically into the sea, straight into natural aquariums crammed with inquisitive fish and turtles. Just two hours from Sydney, you can escape for a weekend, or linger longer for a week or two.

How do I get to Lord Howe?
Lord Howe Island is almost directly east of Port Macquarie on Australia’s east coast. You can fly from Port Macquarie, Newcastle and Sydney. In fact, Sydney to Lord Howe is only two hours’ flight! There’s rumour of a direct flight from the Gold Coast being added to Eastern’s schedule soon. Check out Eastern Air or Qantaslink. Read the full travel article here.
