WILDLIFE

As we are a tropical island you may see some wild life and insects you are not familiar with like bush cockroaches, ants, snakes, geckos and lots of birds. While our accommodation does get pest control treatments regularly to minimalise unwanted pests keep food in the fridge or sealed and benchtops clean.

DANGEROUS JELLYFISH

Over the years, during the summer months when the ocean is warm, the Whitsundays has experienced an increased presence of Jellyfish in particular the Box Jellyfish and Irukandji Jellyfish.

This Irukandji Jellyfish is small, translucent and most of the time not seen by swimmers. Symptoms of the Irukandji Sting include severe pain, muscle constriction and breathing difficulties which requires immediate medical attention. People with pre-existing medical conditions, small children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to the Irukandji sting.

We recommend when swimming in the ocean to wear stinger suits and to only swim in the presence of others in case assistance is required. Alternatively there are plenty of pools on the island that you can swim in. If you are considering doing water sports, please discuss your concerns with the operator.

BATS

Of an afternoon you may notice flying foxes and fruit bats in the trees and migrating over the islands. These bats should not be approached or taunted as they can carry the lyssavirus.

Please be cautious and go directly to the medical centre if you have been in contact with, been bitten or scratched by any wildlife.

CYCLONE PROCEDURES

• The Whitsundays are subject to cyclones during the summer months of the year. While every effort is made to ensure your safety, there are things you should know and be aware of if a cyclone is expected in the region.
• In the event of a cyclone you should always remain calm and follow the instructions advised. A newsletter is usually placed under your door to keep you updated and you can also call the advice line on 1300 659 212 or if you have a smart phone at http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/about/warnings
• With Cyclones generally comes a lot of rain, winds exceeding 110km and they can create storm surges (elevated sea levels).
• To minimalise flying debris we ask you to make sure all furniture and belongings are brought inside and always keep your doors and windows closed. Draw any curtains or blinds for further protection.
• With power outages comes water outages and you should fill water containers for drinking.
• Do not use candles unless absolutely necessary and always protect the naked flame.
• When a cyclone passes directly over beware of the “eye of the storm” which will be a very still and quiet time before it will get windy and rain again. Please do not go outside during this time and wait until you have been given the “all clear”. The emergency response team will make sure all streets and areas are safe before issuing the “all clear”. Please stay safe and feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.
