Somebody once said the Whitsunday Islands in North Queensland were “God’s gift to Australia and Australia’s gift to the world”. And it’s not hard to see some heavenly work at play in the creation of these green gems floating in an aqua-blue sea.

In the Whitsundays, a collection of 74 tropical islands, you can go sailing and head to any island you want. The ‘heart’ of the Great Barrier Reef is here – a reef shaped as a well-defined heart, best seen from the air (above).

Whitsunday Island resorts range from the five-star Hayman Resort to the romantic getaways of Hamilton Island, and other islands such as Daydream and Brampton Islands.
