Venue: Hamilton Island, Queensland
THE VENUE
Hamilton Island is nestled among the Whitsunday Islands, a group of 74 islands just off the Queensland coast and at the edge of the world famous Great Barrier Reef. The island enjoys a year round warm tropical climate, which allows you to visit any time of the year. Perfectly situated on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, amongst Queensland's 74 Whitsunday Islands, Hamilton Island offers an experience like no other: glorious weather, azure waters, brilliant beaches, awe-inspiring coral reefs, fascinating flora and fauna, fine food and wines, and activities almost too numerous to mention.
Hamilton Island also welcomes new world-class facilities with the newly opened Hamilton Island Golf Club, the architectural wonder that is the multipurpose Hamilton Island Yacht Club and a host of new or refurbished Hotels and Resorts.
The Island is one of the icons of Australia, and is on about the same latitude as Hawaii in the northern hemisphere and consequently has a most attractive climate all year round. Average year round temperature is 27.4 degrees.
The island has its own airport with direct flights from Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns or Brisbane or it can be accessed by fast catamaran from Airlie Beach on the mainland thus providing access for those wishing to travel by train or coach. There are also over 10 restaurants and six take away outlets on the island with a huge range of cuisine including the freshest seafood. Activities for guests on the island are very extensive with a range of over 40 activities including, beach cruises, water skiing, wind surfing, catamaran and yacht sailing, gymnasium, tennis, game fishing, nature walks, Hamilton Island Wildlife Park, sea kayaking, scenic flights, safari tours, Great Barrier Reef tours or simply just relaxing by one of the six resort pools. The island also features fantastic shopping with over 20 boutiques and specialty stores throughout the marina village and the resort centre.
