What
to do on Long Island, Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia?
Listed at 8 (up from
34) Long Island - Whitsundays
The relatively quiet
Long Island is close to the mainland in the heart of the Whitsundays
approximately 20 minutes from both Shute Harbour and Hamilton Island.
Long Island gets it unimaginative
name by being 9km long and not very wide. In a few places, like
Fish Bay and Palm Baym, the distance between the western and eastern
shoreline is little more than 300 metres.
The Long to 'get away
from it all' Island
Long Island tends to
attract travellers looking to 'get away from it all' without having
to sacrifice too many of life's modern conveniences.
The Mystery of Long
Island
Watch out for evidence
of a Spanish galleon which is rumoured to be lying off of the coast
of Long Island. Sightings of an old timber ship, Aboriginal stories
of a shipwrecked crew and a claim that coins have been washed up
on a beach have created the beginnings of a myth.
Long Island Gift Shoppee?
Given a few more years
and Long Island may well change its name to something a bit more
Spanish. I'm already setting up a gift shoppee :-)
To get to Long Island
you can catch a launch from Hamilton Island or Water Taxi from Shute
Harbour.
