Australian travellers have discovered a 'magical' island - and its white sand beaches, formidable forests, and crystal clear waters bursting with coral reef have earned it the label of 'Hawaii Down Under'.
A two-hour flight from Sydney, Lord Howe island is located 600km east of the New South Wales coast and boasts diverse wildlife and unique vistas.
The stunning volcanic isle is home to an extraordinary cloud forest where cotton-like wisps float directly over mountaintops.
One of the island's main attractions, the cloud caps, hang between the 875-metre summit of Mount Gower and lower Mount Lidgbird during summer months.
However, hopeful visitors will have to plan their trip in advance and confirm their accomodation - as the island only allows 400 travellers at any time due to its sustainable tourism policy.

Lord Howe island is located 600km east of the New South Wales coast and boasts crystal clear waters, a verdant forest, and incredible coastal walks
Lord Howe is part of just one percent of global woodland where cloud forests grow, along with regions in Central America, southern Mexico, South America, Africa, Madagascar, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and the Caribbean.
Sitting between Australia and New Zealand in the Tasman Sea, the island has been hailed as an 'unspoiled paradise' filled with diamond beaches and cerulean waters.
Visitors are encouraged to take part in ecological initiatives and clean-up projects, and can even hand-feed fish on picturesque Ned's Beach for a close encounter with local wildlife.

Families can take tours of the lagoon on glass-bottom boats, which provide unrivalled opportunities for fish, turtle, and coral reef viewing.

Ecologist Ian Hutton, who has lived on the World Heritage-listed island for the past 40 years, describes it as a 'thrilling life, surrounded by pristine waters and subtropical forests'.
Travellers will find themselves with a unique opportunity to witness dozens of tiny ecosystems co-exist - with Dr Hutton describing the spot as akin to 'living in a David Attenborough documentary' to the ABC.
Dr Hutton said the humidity from cloud forests create the perfect climate for the growth of rare mosses, ferns and flowering plants, many of which are found nowhere else on earth.
