Daydream Island - Culture and History
Daydream Island
Small island close to Shute Harbour and easily accessible to
day trippers.
Geologically the Whitsunday Islands are all drowned mountains.
Prior to the last Ice Age they were connected to the mainland and
would have all been prominent mountains in the area. The melting of
the polar caps drowned the valleys between the mountains creating a
network of 74 islands of which only 7 have resort facilities.
Beyond the resorts the whole area is part of the Great Barrier Reef
Marine Park and the uninhabited islands are all controlled by
National Parks and Wildlife.
