Hamilton Island
The most developed of the Whitsundays, the privately owned
Hamilton Island is also the most populated, boasting some of the
most valuable real estate in Australia, and when you take a look at
the breathtaking scenery and views, it's not surprising! With the
Great Barrier Reef a short boat ride away, pristine and unspoilt
surroundings and world-class accommodation and dining
opportunities, Hamilton Island makes a great day or overnight trip
for visitors to the Whitsundays. During peak season, September to
January, it can become extremely busy, so if you're looking for a
quiet retreat from the noisy crowds, come another time. Stroll
around Marina Village window shopping and stop for a bite to eat,
catch a golf buggy to the 'northern end' or simply relax on Catseye
Beach and soak up the sun.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
