Everything about Daydream Island totally explained
Daydream Island is one of seven islands of the
Molle Group, a sub-group of the
Whitsunday Islands in
Queensland,
Australia. The island is small, measuring 1km in length and 400m at its widest point. The highest point on the island is 51 metres above sea level. There are two tourist resorts on the island: the original resort at the southern end caters to day visitors, only overnights guests can visit the newer resort (opened in
1990) at the north-eastern end of the island. Tourist vessels from the mainland port of
Shute Harbour regularly visit the island.
Christened West Molle Island in
1881, the present name "Daydream" came into use during the
1930s when Lee (Paddy) and Connie Murray established the first tourist resort on the island.
Day Dream was the name of a yacht owned by the Murrays. Ownership of the resort has transferred to a number of individuals or groups since the 1930s. Notable owners include
Reg Ansett, who dismantled the resort in 1953 and shipped the buildings to his new resort on
Hayman Island; and
Bernie Elsey, whose massive redevelopment of the island in
1967 was destroyed by
Cyclone Ada three years later. The resort is currently owned by
Vaughan Bullivant.
