Maybe I have mentioned that Scruffy and I love boats. We love islands too. Here we are, sitting on a fence at Hamilton Island, looking out at all the small boats and yachts moored in the marina. You can just see the Queensland coast in the background. The other islands are Dent on the left, and Henning on the right. On the right side of the marina entrance is a small "false light". It looks like a lighthouse but doesn't have a light in it. Hamilton is a good base for exploring the Whitsunday islands. It has an airport so that you can fly in from anywhere, and it is the central point for ferrys and tour boats that take you just about anywhere in the island group. The thing I like best about it is that we can hoon around on golf buggies over lots of the island, except for the bits that you need a big 4-wheel drive to get to.
