Lord Howe and Philip Islands

11809-08205 Norfolk Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) a lone tree with exposed roots, surrounded by seedlings in the eroded landscape of Mauve Gully. The background shows tuff and basalt layered surfaces, widespread on the island prior to restoration planting. During the 18th and 19th Century this 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 *
