Re: Hamilton Island
Not sure what your budget is but what about Raratonga in the Cook Islands?
Air NZ fly there from Sydney. About a 9 hour flight - maybe that's a bit too long a flight.
Know people that have been and would lurve to go back!!!

Did the Skyrail when I was in Cairns for work a couple of years back, exhilarating, but terrifying at the same time!

Atherton Tablelands on the plateau above Cairns is a nice drive as well:

Re: Hamilton Island
Thanks for the ideas - I think we're already booked into that caravan park.
Julie: thanks, but I think 9 hours plus the flight to Sydney will be too far.
