Lord Howe Island Marine Park

Lord Howe Island Marine Park consists of the waters 3 nautical miles (6 km) off Lord Howe Island, Balls Pyramid and a New South Wales state marine park. The waters 3 to 12 nautical miles (6 to 22 km) from Lord Howe Island and Balls Pyramid were declared a federal marine park on 21 June 2000, see Lord Howe Island Marine Park (Commonwealth waters). The park complements the island group's status as a World Heritage site. Its primary objective is to protect marine biodiversity.

Sepia baxteri

Sepia baxteri is a species of cuttlefish native to the southwestern Pacific Ocean, specifically the waters around Lord Howe Island. It is known only from the type cuttlebones. Depth range is unknown. Cuttlebones of this species are known to reach at least 74 mm. S. baxteri is possibly a junior synonym of Sepia bandensis. The placement of this species in the genus Sepia is also questionable.

Mount Lidgbird

Mount Lidgbird is located in the southern section of Lord Howe Island, just north of Mount Gower, and has its peak at 777 metres (2,549 ft). Mount Lidgbird is named after the naval officer Captain Henry Lidgbird Ball, who first sighted Lord Howe Island in 1788. He was on his way to Norfolk Island in the ship HMS Supply when he spotted Lord Howe Island. The trek to the 777-metre summit is hard to climb, but not as tough as the climb to Mount Gower.
