Interesting facts about Great Keppel Island

Great Keppel Island, situated on the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, is a must-visit destination for those who are looking for relaxation, adventure, or both. Here are some interesting facts about this beautiful island:

- Great Keppel Island is one of the largest islands on the Southern Great Barrier Reef, with 17 beaches and bays to explore. It covers an area of 14 square kilometers (5.4 square miles) and has a population of around 180 people.
- The island was originally inhabited by the Darumbal Aboriginal people, who called it Woppaburra. The British explorer Captain James Cook later renamed it Keppel Island in honor of Admiral Augustus Keppel.
- For many years, Great Keppel Island was a popular holiday destination for Australians and tourists from around the world. It was known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and abundant marine life.
- However, in recent decades, the island has faced some environmental challenges, including coral bleaching, overfishing, and pollution. In response, the local community has been working hard to restore the island's ecosystem and promote sustainable tourism practices.
- Great Keppel Island is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including green sea turtles, dolphins, dugongs, humpback whales, and more than 100 species of birds. Visitors can go snorkeling or scuba diving to see colorful corals and fish, or take a guided tour to learn more about the island's flora and fauna.
- In addition to its natural attractions, Great Keppel Island offers a range of activities for visitors of all ages. You can go fishing, kayaking, sailing, or paddle-boarding, take a sunset cruise, explore the island on foot or by bike, or simply relax on the beach and soak up the sun.
- The island has a number of restaurants, cafes, and bars to choose from, as well as a general store for all your necessities. Accommodation options range from camping and backpackers' hostels to luxury villas and beachfront resorts.
- The best time to visit Great Keppel Island is between May and October, when the weather is dry and sunny, and the water is warm and clear. However, the island is beautiful year-round, and there are always plenty of activities and attractions to enjoy.
