About the Whitsunday Islands:
Whitsunday Islands Hotels - getting to and from and around once there
The Whitsunday Islands are a collection of continental islands of various sizes off the central coast of Queensland, Australia, situated between just south of Bowen and to the north of Mackay, some 900 kilometres (560 mi) north of Brisbane. The island group is centred on Whitsunday Island, while the group’s commercial centre is Hamilton Island.
A visit to the Whitsundays offers something for everyone from a fun-filled, adventure-packed family holiday to a luxurious romantic escape for two. With so much natural beauty on our doorstep you can snorkel or scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef, soak up the sun on Whitehaven Beach or sail around the Whitsunday Islands. You can choose to stay in one of the many beautiful island resorts or base yourself on the mainland and enjoy the fun & friendly atmosphere of Airlie Beach and surrounds with it’s lively nightlife and delectable restaurants. The hardest part will be choosing how to fit it all in.
Bordered by the Great Barrier Reef in the calm waters of the Coral Sea, the 74 tropical islands of the Whitsundays lie midway along Australia’s Queensland coast.
Airlie Beach, on the Whitsunday Coast, is the vibrant hub of the region, and the gateway to the 74 islands – only eight of which are inhabited. The Whitsunday Coast region also spans from the beautiful beaches of Bowen in the north, to the inland township of Proserpine, to the golf greens of Laguna Quays in the south.
From here, the Whitsundays are a natural gem to be discovered. Marvel at the natural beauty of Heart Reef. Sink your feet into the white, silica sands of world-famous Whitehaven Beach, or simply set sail across the sparkling azure waters and explore the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef at your own pace. There’s so much to see and do, you can come back year after year for a new experience and a different memorable holiday every time!
History:
The term is a mis-nomer, based as it is on Captain Cook’s naming of what is now known as the Whitsunday Passage (in Cook’s Journal, Whitsunday’s Passage) in the belief that the passage was discovered on Whitsunday whereas, because of an error in time-keeping, it was actually Whit-Monday.
Contention has existed as to exactly what islands are within the informally-named Whitsunday Islands, in particular as to the southern extremity and the inclusions to the west. What is certain is that they lie within the chain named Cumberland Isles by Captain Cook (now officially approved as the Cumberland Islands) and a reasonably defined section of that chain and surrounding waters have become known world-wide as The Whitsundays based on a contraction of the Whitsunday Islands designation.
The Whitsunday islands are a popular tourist destination for travelers to Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef. The island received about 700,000 visitors between March 2008 and March 2009
