Lord Howe Island
Celebrated 25 Years of World Heritage Status
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Lord Howe Island’s
place on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage list. Billed as the most beautiful island in the
Pacific, Lord Howe was awarded the World Heritage
honour based on its exceptional natural beauty and its collection of rare
and endangered plants, birds, and marine life.
The Lord Howe Island community marked
the anniversary with a weekend of celebrations on December 1 and 2, including a
free open-air concert at Ned’s Beach on Sunday December 2 at 4:30pm. The
concert featured the internationally acclaimed Australian band Sirocco – which has performed in
far-flung places like Indonesia, Pakistan, Nepal and the Russian Far East – and
now brings its music, inimitable charm and touch of Aussie larrikinsm to Lord
Howe.
