<< Last Day in Sydney

08/12/24 - Last Day on Lord Howe Island

Our flight back to Sydney was late enough in the day that we could grab a golf cart and head out for a short adventure beforehand. We chose a nearby hike, one starting at the airport turnoff, that headed up and towards the east side of the island. It was a steep climb, and we didn't get all that far, but we climbed up past the open fields and into the twisted maze of forest above.

There were steps on the early part of the climb, but then the trail was relatively level. We had one or two glimpses of the ocean, but for the most part our scenery was green.

This is not great bushwhacking country.






The trees grow every which way.

A natural formation?
