One of the best things about growing up on Lord Howe is unfettered access to nature; to be able to safely explore, swim, fish and surf.
To not worry about locking any doors, or wear shoes... where everyone drives slow enough to wave hello, to have time to chat to visitors, and share our local knowledge.
What a privilege it is now to be able to share all those unchanged qualities, and to see the delight that a visit to Lord Howe delivers!
Lord Howe has grown into a sophisticated destination, with great restaurants and world class diving, fishing, hiking and surfing - all carefully nurtured within an unique environment; uncrowded, undeveloped and breathtakingly beautiful. Our land tenure is particular to Lord Howe, and ensures we’ll never be over built.
World Heritage listing in 1982 certainly complemented the care our island community has always shown for Lord Howe, resulting in a high percentage of very happy return visitors!
Waste management is innovative and widely admired as best-practice, and our weed eradication programs attract huge interest.
Lord Howe has moved to renewable energy; an effective solar array with battery back-up is now generating just under 100% of the island’s energy requirements.
