Kate and Serena Do Lord Howe Lord Howe Island Profile

Lord Howe was once a a mighty volcano, over 35 km across, for such a small looking island, geologically, it is known as the Lord Howe Rise, a sunken plateau that stretches over 2,000 km towards New Caledonia and is approxiamately 1,500,000 Km2, albeit under water.

Holidaying in

Species of the Banyan tree are related to the well known Moreton Bay Fig, endemic to Queensland Australia. 50 % of the flora and fauna species have evolved uniquely on this Island

lord Howe island Historically speaking

The first reported sighting of Lord Howe Island took place on 17 February 1788, when Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, commander of the Armed Tender HMS Supply was en route from Botany Bay to found a penal settlement on Norfolk Island. On the return journey, Ball sent a party ashore on Lord Howe Island to claim it as a British possession.It subsequently became a provisioning port for the whaling industry, and was permanently settled in June 1834.

Lord Howe was ideal for Paddle Board Beginners of any age. Kate had not Paddle Boarded before, and Serena was a great Teacher.

wHere it is

The secret is to get a wide as possible board, get into deeper water, place the paddle on the board in front of you, and put your hands on the board, and bring your knees up under yourself.

Lord Howe Island is situated about 650 km off the Coast of NSW, East of Port Macquarie. It is about 10 km long and between 2.0 km and 0.3 km wide, with an area of 14.5 Km 2. The township is situated mainly in the north west, on the Lagoon side of the Isalnd.

Their friendship has weathered the tests of time. Now both single, adventurous spirits have been born, and travels across Australia, and the world, have seen some exciting and hilarious times, as the girls upstump, and head off on regular and often spontaneous journeys.

This is one of Australia’s most pristine places. It is a World Heritage site, and it sure does deserve that title.

The waters are crystal clear, the Coral is in pristine condition, and the fish sure are friendly, often mistaking your toe nails for fish food, as Serena found out.

Dedication I would like to dedicate this work, to my beloved Gerry, who sadly passed away halfway through these diplomas. You were my inspiration, the guy who kept me on track, who helped me with my work, and shared so much laughter together. BASTARD !

To Dianne, who put the fear of God in me, if I did not complete this bloody course.

Thanks to Serena, Gayle, George and Evie, Christine, Jan, for sharing such fun shoots.

Finally...

Thank you to my tutors, Jose, Megan, Michael, Ant, Cambo, Tibor, Dave, Jules and Kim. I shall miss the bloody lot of you.There are not enough words to express the help, support, and shared laughter and tears, over the last two years.

I shall also miss my fellow classmates, who have brought such a diverse view of Design, into my life.
