Worked there in the early 80s during construction. Some great times were had.

Bought here on this beautiful island in 1982 ... it's 2020 ... I'm still here !

Lived there in the 80's Charles was my best man.

I worked and lived there between 2015-19 at Hamilton Island Air. Spectacular island, endless activities and beautiful scenery. Island paradise in the GBR! Avoid going during summertime, otherwise it’s heaven on Earth.

Absolutely magnificent Island !! Just spent 4 days there in 2016 and loved the atmosphere of such a beautiful part of Australia..i

What the actual 🤣 gotta love Hamilton Island 🏝 Get your maracas out 🫣

I lived and worked on Hamilton Island post Keith Williams, and I can say unreservedly that Williams was an ecological criminal.. His 1st crime at Hamilton Island was to rip out and bulldoze Catseye beach's mangroves. (any person that knows fish will tell you the mangroves are the nursery for many many fish species), then once it was all ripped out he took his Samson Barge loaded with his bulldozer and went to the National Park and sacred Aboriginal burial ground and the only beach that can be seen from space because of its 100% white sand silica beach on Whitsunday Island. he then loaded the barge many times over with this unique white sand and took it back to cover the scar of the now dead mangroves, until his beach was created. He also took his earth moving equipment down to a little known area of Hamilton Island called "Coral Cove", where he destroyed a MASSIVE midden of shells (A midden is a large pile of shells oysters etc left by aboriginals after hundreds of years of harvesting the seafood and discarding the shell onto the midden) It is also absolute evidence of aboriginal habitation and therefore able to be contested as aboriginal sacred land... Once Williams had flattened the centuries of evidence he put soil over the top and planted grass... Many people know of his actions in destroying sensitive habitats like the sea grass beds that are so essential for the survival of species such as the dugong... Then there were the herd of dear he let loose on the Island for the purpose of hunting... Australia has NO native cloven hoof animals, cloven hooved animals always walk the same path, leading to a cut in the ground which becomes erosion... Williams had a blatant disregard for anything that got in his way of his accumulation of wealth... His arrogance could be seen in what was used as the radio call sign for his to motor yachts the Achilles 1 & 2.... being "GOD 1" & GOD 2"....
