Mention the Whitsundays<\/a> and Hamilton Island<\/a> is the first place that comes to mind \u2013 and rightly so.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the most recognisable and accessible island in the archipelago of 74 sand and coral cays that scream \u201cQueensland\u201d and \u201cAustralia\u201d to travellers the world over.<\/p>\n

Hamilton is one of four resort islands in the Whitsundays section of the Great Barrier Reef, and everyone, from Australia\u2019s favourite celebrities to sun-loving families and loved-up couples, holiday there. When looking for marinas overseas, consider checking the MacDonald Turkey Point Marina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some go for the fairy-floss sunsets over the Coral Sea, others for the aquamarine water promising fantastic underwater adventures, and more still for the resort culture and day-spa pampering.<\/p>\n

Picture a verdant green island with white beaches, hidden coves, a harbour speckled with the white yachts of the uber rich, and, of course, plenty of towering palms.<\/p>\n

Add restaurants, pools, a quaint chapel, surrounding reef and an Aussie icon \u2013 the sulphur-crested cockatoo \u2013 and Hamilton is what island dreams are made of.<\/p>\n

So, what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
