Erskine Valley Erskine Valley is a small, steep-sided, forested valley, containing the perennial Erskine Creek with several small waterfalls. About one kilometre long and broad, it lies between Mounts Lidgbird (to the north) and Gower (to the south), on the western side of the southern end of Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. The valley is traversed by the popular hiking track to the summit of Mount Gower. It was named after Thomas Erskine, Lord Chancellor of the United Kingdom from 1806 to 1807.
