More about the Whitsundays |
If there is a perfect holiday Island resorts destination on the
Queensland coast it is probably the Whitsundays. It is here that
the delights of the Great Barrier Reef, the warmth of the tropics,
combined with a range of Whitsundays activities from bushwalking to scuba diving, and a diversity
of lifestyles from backpackers and takeaways to luxury hotels and
international a-la-carte restaurants, all meet in a wonderfully
harmonious combination of delights.
Geologically the Whitsunday Islands are all drowned
mountains. Prior to the last Ice Age they were connected to the
mainland and would have all been prominent mountains in the area.
The melting of the polar caps drowned the valleys between the mountains
creating a network of 74 Whitsunday islands of which only 7 have resort facilities.
Beyond the resorts the whole area is part of the Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park and the uninhabited islands of the Whitsundays are all controlled
by National Parks and Wildlife.

Over the years the Whitsunday
Islands (known affectionately as "The Whitsundays") have
loomed large in the imagination of Australians. Everyone has heard
the names
- South Molle, Lindeman, Hamilton, Daydream and Hayman to which
can
be added Long Island and Hook Island. These Whitsunday islands are synonymous
with paradise. The very words conjure up images of lying in
the tropical sun, having a really good island holiday, perfect green tropical
seas, exquisite
tropical sunset and good food and drink.
