South Molle Island is in the heart of the spectacular Whitsunday
Passage and features 405 ha of unspoilt National Park, rimmed by
scenic beaches, bays and inlets. It is the perfect location to get
away from it all, offering a casual and relaxed atmosphere for both
families and couples. South Molle Island Resort offers the
opportunity to play a 9 hole golf course on a resort with
spectacular views over the Whitsundays and surrounded by National
Park. You can also go snorkelling or swimming at one of the many
accessible bays and inlets, take one of the many leisurely walks
through the National Park. The island is a haven for birdlife
including the Brahminy Kites, Osprey, Sea Eagles, Kookaburras,
Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, Currawongs, Pheasant Coucal, Australian
Scrub Turkeys, Bridled Terns, Rainbow Lorikeets and Eastern Curlews.
The Eastern Curlews, are long-legged ground dwellers birds which
make a loud screeching noise, often known as the cry of the lost
sailors. Other wildlife include a colony of fruit bats (flying
foxes), the Green Tree Snake, Brown Python, many species of
butterflies, and the Green Tree Ants (distinguishable by their
nests, binding together a bunch of leaves with sticky silk). The
ants can deliver a painful bite, but are not particularly dangerous.
Aborigines have been known to eat these ants as a source of protein
and vitamins.
