The last of the special trips to Lord Howe Island started during the pandemic.  A visit to this World Heritage site is on many people's to-do list.  In this trip we not only walk the many beautiful tracks, but also learn from the local experts why the island is so special in the stories of evolution and conservation.  You may also encounter one of the most unique birds which was the reason of David Attenborough's 1997 visit.   The trip package includes flights, accommodation, restaurant meals, lectures, guided walks, low tide reef walks and night walks.  You can also enjoy your own walks, snorkelling, golfing, etc..    Club insurance does not apply to this commercial trip.  For the detailed trip plan please contact sally.bushwalk@tallyhoaccounting.com.au  or 0451637848 (text message preferred) Map: Lord Howe Island Limit: 18.

There is a choice of 2 walks.

The more adventurous will ascend Pigeon House by usual route for morning tea on summit. On descent leave usual track and go north to Wombat Ridge firetrail, then west down Longfella Pass, very steep rough descent on firetrails to reach Yadboro. A well-deserved afternoon billy tea with the other walkers to finish the day. Then hitch a ride with them back to Pigeon House carpark. Grade 3 or 4: Medium or Medium/Hard. Limit: 10 for the harder option. Contact leader essential at least a week beforehand so car shuffle logistics can be arranged. Location: Morton NP Map: Milton 89272N Limit: 10. View
