5 (6) Whitsundays - gorgeous by another name, Far
North Queensland
Captain James Cook passed through Whitsunday passage
On Sunday 4 June which happened to be Whit Sunday (the seventh Sunday
after Easter). He had said 'my god this place is gorgeous' but the
name was never officially adopted :)
The Whitsundays consists of the tops of 74 semi-submerged
mountains. Now the mountain tops are tropical islands. Only eight
Whitsunday islands are inhabited, most of the islands are National
Parks and all of them are fantastic.

6 (7) Sail the Whitsundays, Far North Queensland
Tall Ships (see below) provide a regal presence of the traditional

9 (13) Molle Group of Islands, Whitsundays
Windswept hillsides, rocky headlands with majestic hoop pines,
golden sandy beaches, extensive fringing coral reefs, secluded coves,
open eucalypt forests clothe the hillsides, rainforest grows in
sheltered gullies and grasslands cover the more exposed slopes.
It does sound yummy doesn’t it. The scenery here is simply
magnificent.
The Molle Group of Islands are easily accessible by kayak due to
their close proximity to the mainland.

18 (12) Daydream Island Resort, Whitsundays
A dreamy place by day except for all full range of activities and

quiet at night. A sort day dreamy action packed paradise kinda place.

Airlie Beach, landscaped parkland and village streets overlooking
the bay fringe the vast Airlie lagoon. At night there is range of
places to go and be seen and clubs to party in but don’t forget
the early start.
