Queensland (Far North Coast)
Bedarra Island
Very exclusive, very luxurious and very beautiful. In setting out to describe Bedarra you need a compendium of superlatives. Most of the time you'll think you have the whole island to Yourself because there's only accommodation for thirty-two guests at the Bedarra Island Resort. There's a fantastic variety of plant and animal life. Walking from one end of the island to the other, a good stroll of about 1.6 km (a mile) is particularly rewarding. Especially since no matter which resort you're staying in, you're always welcome to drop in at the other for drinks or lunch.

There's fishing, water sports, or go exploring in a small dinghy. If you feel the need for a little more activity, a motorised catamaran will take you to nearby Dunk Island, where you'll have extensive sporting facilities at your disposal. Take a trip to Beaver Cay and go snorkelling on the Reef.
