I know the average high temp in July is in the low 70's but I am wondering if its warm enough to lie out on the beach, get some sun, or go for a swim in the coral sea without freezing. Planning on going there for 5 days in early to mid july for my honeymoon and the fiance wants something warm and beachey. Thanks for the help

Hi- We are going to be on Hamilton island from march 5- march 9. I really want to go to whitehaven beach , but all the tour companies just seen to go for 4 hours and head back. They leave only about 2 hrs on the island. Does anybody have a good suggestion for going there? Or is 4 hours plenty of time??? Does anybody have a tour operator that they recommend? Do you think it will be sunny, or will it be rainy every day. I was thinking since it was their fall it would be good weather, so I hope it is not too rainy. Is there anything else we need to see on hamilton island. thanks for your help

I love to cook and booked an apartment with kitchen on Hamilton Island for a week. There is no way of purchasing fresh seafood on the island. The restaurants are over priced, which I could handle if anyone knew how to cook. This place has great weather but I feel like I am trapped in a cross between the Truman show and The Wickerman (original version). Is there anyone out there that has been thru and survived this place. Here till Wednesday 3rd Help !

Hi there I am a 30-year old, NZ photographer and I am very interested in working on Hamilton Island for 6 months July - Dec 2010! I imagine Hamilton Island is a really fun, enjoyable, social place to work - is this correct? My questions include: Does Hamilton Island arrange the accommodation (if I get a job through them)? Is it shared accommodation or bunk beds etc? Is it expensive to live there? Does it get boring after a week? What is there to do aside from swim, walk, shop, golf, eat/drink? What is the main age group of the employees? Would you recommend working there? Is it difficult to find full-time employment? (I am a photographer but can also do administration roles) Any advice would be much appreciated! Please be honest!! Thank you Daisy

Thankyou, Julie.

Hi, we are considering Hamilton Island for a family holiday. We are 2 familes with with 6 teenagers between us ranging from 13 to 19 and will stay at The Villas. What are the prices of food for lunch/snacks from the takeway shops etc. As far as things for the teenagers to do at night are there places that they can hang out (4 of them are under 18), also things for the 17,18, and 19yo to do at night instead of hanging with us and cramping our style :-) Loads of people have been telling me it's too expensive to go to Hamilton Island, so I'm hoping I can get some tips which will make it not too outragious. Any other prices for activities would be appreciated. I was thinking as there are 10 of us, would we be better off financially organising our own boat charter than taking an organised cruise. Any advice welcome cheers Linda
