I lived and worked on Hamilton Island (located in the heart of The Whitsundays) for 16 years so had ample time to extensively explore the region.
The Whitsundays are located on the north-eastern coast of Australia and are protected by the Great Barrier Reef. It is a sub-tropical climate and when the weather patterns are 'normal' it is common to experience humid, wet summers and dry (often windier) winters.
There are hundreds of islands and islets to explore, the island's are mountainous with large inlets and bays providing shelter from all wind directions.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and the Australian government have been very careful in limiting the development in the area and only 9 island have any human development.
