Hamilton is the only Queensland island with a modern jet airport. The whole island is a world class resort and includes a village of boutique shops, eight swimming pools and nine restaurants from light snacks to fine dining at the Outrigger. At any one time the island hosts about two thousand people and around two hundred boats in its world class marina. There's a fifty acre fauna park with kangaroos and koalas and a dolphin pool. There are around one hundred and fifty species of birds and eucalypt bush walks to mountain peaks of 360 degree island views.
