The various authors extolling the virtues of Lord Howe island have
suggested it is a great place to visit. Hopefully they are correct as John
Barkla and I have organised a private trip there in February. The
literature we collected certainly indicated that it has enormous potential
as a bird-watching site, but it is good to have confirmation.
We intend to spend a week on Lord Howe, visiting Ball's Pyramid, and then a
week on Norfolk Island. NI seems to offer as much potential as LHI and much
of historical interest as well.
In late February, I will be in a position to offer a report on the
experiences of our group on both islands, hopefully confirming the
recommendations offered recently.
If, as a result of the correspondence on this list, any Birding-Aussers now
have a burning desire to visit LHI (or NI), we still have a couple of spots
on our trip available. Please contact me asap for details.
