History of Hamilton Island

The Whitsunday Islands were connected to the mainland and would have been mountains prior to the last ice age. Much later on in 1770, Captain James Cook traveled through the area on Whit Sunday - which is the seventh Sunday after Easter - resulting in the area's name. Geologically the Whitsunday Islands are all drowned mountains. Prior to the last Ice Age they were connected to the mainland and would have all been prominent mountains in the area. The melting of the polar caps drowned the valleys between the mountains creating a network of 74 islands of which only 7 have resort facilities. Hamilton Island is 4.5km long, 3 km wide covering 750 hectares, much of which is still untouched. Hamilton Island Resort was the brainchild of QLD developer Keith Williams who created a multi-use island with everything from private dwellings (George Harrison owns one of them) through to a diverse range of hotels and luxury apartments.
