Lord Howe Island (LHI) is the largest island in the group, with an area of 1,455 ha and is 11km long and 2-3 kmNew wide. Lord Howe Island supports a resident populationCaledonia of approximately 350 people and a peak Brisbane Norfolk Island tourist population of Lord up to an additional 400 Sydney Howe Island people. Melbourne Up to 16,000 tourists New visit the island each Zealand year. All of the LHIG and its surrounding waters are World Heritage listed. Photo: Ken Lees Lord Howe Island is part of New South Wales (NSW) and is administered by the Lord Howe Island Board (LHIB) under the Lord Howe Island Act 1953. The LHIB is charged with the care, control and management of the island, and its affairs and trade. The LHIB is responsible for the day to day management and protection of the World Heritage values of the Group, of which about 75% (1300ha) of the island is managed as a Permanent Park Preserve (PPP) (a conservation reserve dedicated under the Lord Howe Island Act). The PPP was gazetted in January 1982 and only includes land above the high water mark. All reefs, marine areas or the inter tidal zone are managed by the Lord Howe Island Marine Parks Authority. Blackburn Island Photo: Michael Legge-Wilkinson The Permanent Park Preserve consists of the northern and southern mountains of the main island, the Admiralty Islands, Blackburn Island, Mutton Bird Island, Balls Pyramid and its surrounding rocks and islets. The park preserve does not include any part of the settlement area, which encompasses the residential and agricultural lands. The island’s rich biodiversity supports a high level of endemic species that occur nowhere else in the world. Many of the island’s flora and fauna species share affinities with species from New Zealand, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island, Australia and other Pacific islands. There are 241 species of native vascular plants, of which 113 (47%) are endemic and 10 are listed as threatened. There are 34 distinct vegetation communities recognised on the island of which 18 are considered to be of conservation concern and 2 are listed as Critically Endangered Ecological Communities. Mountain Rose Photo: LHIB Masked booby and chick Photo: Jack Shick The island’s terrestrial fauna is dominated by birds and invertebrates, with over 182 species of bird recorded from the island and its surrounding waters, of which 20 are resident landbirds and 14 are nesting seabirds. Red-tailed tropicbird Photo: Geoff Kelly Lord Howe Island Gecko Photo: Dave Hunter The invertebrate fauna is characterised by relatively high species richness and high endemism with up to 1600 terrestrial species recorded, including 8 species recognised as threatened. There are 2 native reptiles (LHI Gecko Christinus guentheri & LHI Skink Oligosoma lichenigerum), 2 introduced reptiles (Grass Skink Lampropholis delicata and Eastern Snake-necked Turtle Chelodina longicollis) and an introduced frog (Bleating Tree Frog Litoria dentata). There is only 1 mammal (Large Forest Bat Vespadelus darlingtoni) that is native to the island. In 1999, the importance of the island’s marine environments was further recognised through the establishment of the Lord Howe Island Marine Park (LHIMP) covering NSW state territorial waters around both the island and the Balls Pyramid Group. Lionfish Photo: Geoff Kelly The Lord Howe Island Marine Park is administered by the NSW Department of Primary Industries. It contains an extraordinary variety of marine habitats, including tropical, sub-tropical and temperate ecosystems. Lord Howe Island Marine Park is the world’s southern-most true coral reef community and is the only fringing reef community in NSW. The LHIMP contains over 500 species of marine fish of which 15 are endemic, 83 coral species, over 305 species of algae and 65 species of echinoderms. Various shark and ray species, green and hawksbill turtles, bottlenose dolphins and migrating whales are amongst the diversity of marine life found within the crystal clear waters surrounding Lord Howe Island.

  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

  • Observations on the Raptor Community of the Pilbara Region of Western Australia
    129 AUSTRALIAN FIELD ORNITHOLOGY 2011, 28, 129–132 Observations on the Raptor Community of the Pilbara Region of Western Australia A.J.G. SUTTON 157 Nawaday Way, Singleton, New South Wales 2330 (Email: [email protected]) Summary Fourteen species of diurnal raptor were observed during roadside surveys and nest searches of the Newman district, in the eastern Pilbara region of arid north-western Australia, in 1987–88. Breeding data (months in which nestlings were present) are presented for eight of these species, and dietary observations or pellet analyses are presented for five. Raptor community structure, particularly with respect to bird-eating falcons in various size-classes, appeared similar to that elsewhere in the arid zone. Introduction There has been only one detailed study of the diurnal raptor community in the Australian arid zone, in the south-west of the Northern Territory (Aumann 2001a–d). Otherwise, apart from historical annotated bird or raptor lists for parts of the arid zone, there has been one other study of diurnal raptors, in arid north- eastern South Australia (Falkenberg et al. 2000; Falkenberg 2011), and an anecdotal account of some of the raptors at sites also in arid South Australia (Debus et al. 2006). This paper presents the results of road-transect surveys and nest searches for raptors in arid north-western Australia, obtained during a study on the Grey Falcon Falco hypoleucos (see Sutton 2011). Study area and methods The study area was that part of the Pilbara region within a 100-km radius of Newman (23°21′S, 119°43′E), in the Ophthalmia Range off the eastern Hamersley Range in arid north-western Western Australia (see Sutton 2011 for further details and references).
