Afer suffering minimal damage from the dual Cyclones Anthony an Yasi last week, and no flooding during Decemeber/January, the Whitsundays continue to operate as normal in all respects bar one – there aren’t many people here soaking up all the wonders!
Flights into Hamilton island and the Whitsundays Coast (Proserpine) Airport are operating as normal and Virgin Blue and Jetstar both have great deals available at the moment. Major local roads are open and the Bruce Highway to the south of the region is open all the way to Brisbane. Ferry services between the islands and Whitsunday coast are also operating as normal.
Tours to the Great barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach and around the Whitsunday islands are all operating. There is no reason for travellers to cancel their holidays and no better reason to book a holiday than to support the region through these hard times.
