Lord Howe and Philip Islands

11811-90002 Norfolk Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) a lone tree surrounded by the eroded landscape of Mauve Gully, showing tuff and basalt (layered) surfaces prior to restoration planting. During the 18th and 19th Century the island was severely degraded by the effects of pest animals including pigs, goats and rabbits introduced during that time. While the pigs and goats were shot out or died out, rabbits remained until a consistent eradication programme was carried out in the last quarter of the 20th century. Phillip Island, Norfolk Group *
