24.01.2022 Marine biologist and photographer Johnny Gaskell has just completed an epic 1-year trip mapping the Great Barrier Reef to give the world an update on it's condi...tion. These stunning shots are a selection, from as far north as Cape York and the Ribbon Reef, to the southern tip of the reef at Gladstone and Lady Elliot Island. For for all of you out there asking? Here's what the Great Barrier Reef looks like. What a stunner. The purpose of this expedition was to get in the water with no set agenda other than to explore and take in as much of the incredible beauty of the Great Barrier Reef as possible. And then film the highlights to inspire others to want to protect what we still have. #thisisqueensland

11.01.2022 Thank you Vogue editor-in-chief Edwina McCann for the exceptional review. The Dom Pérignon partnership is a clever one. The idea is to immerse yourself in the ...majestic Great Barrier Reef through exclusive Dom Pérignon experiences only available on Lizard Island. Dress code: barefoot. I am lucky enough to receive many invites over my desk but they rarely come better than that. See more
05.01.2022 The WhitSunday Series - Each week will be featuring a nostalgic look back at some of the history that the Region has to offer from the Islands to the mainland.... Our first place to be featured in the series is Hayman Island. Hayman Island is the most northerly of the Whitsunday Islands, part of the Cumberland Islands, located at 20.0500 S, 148.8888 E. Hayman is a private island open to the public, most famous for its luxury resort which was built in the 1950s by millionaire Reg Ansett, who also founded Ansett Australia. Hayman Island is a relatively small island, only 400 hectares (4 km long by 3 km wide) with particularly beautiful views to the south. On a sparkling sunny day the colour of the water of Hayman’s lagoon and Whitsunday Passage are simply stunning the hues range from gold to turquoise to emerald to sapphire. Edwin Embury, a schoolteacher, dreamer, and amateur scientist established a biological research laboratory on the island in 1933. The abundant wildlife and proximity to the Great Barrier Reef made Hayman an ideal base for scientific discovery. Whitsundays’ fishermen Bob and Bert Hallam established the Great Barrier Reef Game Fish Angling Club in 1935, attracting local and international game fishing enthusiasts who arrived by coastal steamer. One of them was Zane Grey, American novelist, filmmaker and big game fisherman. Grey planted the first coconut palm on the island and, in 1936, Hayman became the idyllic tropical backdrop for his comedy drama, ‘White Death’. In 1947, Australian aviation pioneer, Reginald Ansett acquired the island. Work began on the Royal Hayman Hotel, which opened in 1950 by Australian Deputy Prime Minister, Sir Arthur Fadden in anticipation of a royal visit to Australia, for which Hayman was granted a Royal Charter. Hayman soon earned the reputation as Australia’s foremost leisure and honeymoon destination and attracted widespread international recognition. Arrival on Hayman was by Catalina and Sandringham flying boat. Hayman Island contributed to Australian popular culture when the television series Barrier Reef began filming at Hayman in 1969. In 1972, the first people to row unaided across the Pacific Ocean, Sylvia Cook and John Fairfax arrived at Hayman Island after spending 361 days crossing the ocean. A new era of luxury awaits. Hayman Island by InterContinental will open in July 2019. You will discover an idyllic destination of privacy and pampering, where you can experience diving the Great Barrier Reef, swimming in your private pool, sailing the Coral Sea, the culinary artistry and personalised spa treatments. Opening on 1 July, 2019.
