There are over 100 islands and islets that make up the Whitsundays which are located in tropical Queensland between 20° and 21°  south and it is one of the most interesting and safe cruising grounds in Australia. Sailing, fishing, snorkeling and diving are some of the favoured activities in the islands.  We refer to the Whitsunday Islands as 'our back yard' and enjoy being out in the Islands as much as possible.  Our experiences morph with time, from SCUBA diving, to free diving and spearfishing, racing sailboats, to beach combing or mountain climbing, to whale watching, to fishing and on the odd occasion just lazing about.
