A few images from the boat trip from Lord Howe Island to Ball’s Pyramid.

Ball’s Pyramid is the largest single rock stack in the world. It is where the Lord Howe Island stick insect survived after being wiped out by rats on Lord Howe (only rediscovered in the the 1970s).

The birds are mostly Providence petrels. Enjoy.
