Question Anyone been the the beautiful Australian island paradise called Lord Howe Island off the coast of eastern Australia? Looks so inviting. Should I put this on my bucket list?

My grandparents lived there for a good number of years during the 50s. Apparently a beautiful island with a small community, some of whom still live there today. Even got its own cricket team. I was also told there are spiders hanging literally everywhere.
