View during descent of Mt Gower
These show the route via the ropes on Mt Gower, Lord Howe Island. It is very steep in parts!
Some interesting information about the tree in the bottom lhs from John Game: at bottom left (filling the bottom left corner) Negria rhabdothamnoides. This is a very distinctive LHI endemic, the only member of its genus, and is known by the English name Pumpkin Tree. Its in the African Violet family, Gesneriaceae, and is said to be the largest member of this family in the world.
I went to LHI as part of a fundraising trip for the Climate Council of Australia:
