About the Whitsunday / Lindeman / Molle Islands Region

The Whitsunday Islands are a collective of continental islands of various sizes off the coast of Queensland, Australia, situated between Townsville and Mackay and some 900 km north of Brisbane. The most popular of these among travellers are the Whitsunday Group, the Lindeman Group and the Molle Group.

Whitsunday Island is the largest island in the Whitsunday Group and attracts numerous day visitors and overnight sailors with the pure-white sands of Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, the secure anchorage of Cid Harbour, and the sheltered waterway of Gulnare Inlet. The island is accessible by boat from the mainland tourist ports of Airlie Beach and Shute Harbour.

Hamilton Island is the largest inhabited island of the Whitsunday Islands. Unlike most islands off the east coast of Australia, Hamilton Island is used almost exclusively for tourism. However the island is catering for a growing number of residents, both employees of the various businesses on the island and also those people choosing to retire and enjoy the lifestyle. Hamilton Island Airport is the only airport in the Whitsunday Islands that is big enough to cater for larger commercial aircraft. Hamilton Island is also catered for by several passenger ferry services. In late August the island hosts the Hamilton Island Race Week yachting festival, in which more than 150 yachts from across Australia and New Zealand gather for a week of races around the islands.

Daydream Island is one of seven islands of the Molle Group. The island is small, measuring 1 km in length and 400 m at its widest point. There are two tourist resorts on the island, one of which caters to day visitors and the other to those wishing overnight stays. Tourist vessels from the mainland port of Shute Harbour regularly visit the island.

Visitors can catch glimpses of migrating whales as they make their way through the warm waters of the Whitsundays around July to September.
