Daydream Island is one of the Whitsunday Group and quite close to Airlie Beach on the mainland. It has been damaged badly by a number of cyclones over the years so does not look like these pics show any more. We spent a week there with Jean and John, Marg's sister and brother-in-law, and spent one day doing the tourist boat run to a number of other island resorts including South Molle and Hamilton Islands.
