Very nice but small
Great views, great tours. But needs to be planed with a good budget as the tours are a bit pricey 
Lots of mosquitos, sting season and wet season can change the plans a bit. Bus is 50 cents but if you don’t have a car 3 days is more than enough

I felt safe 
There's loads of young travellers backpacking or looking for temporary jobs 
The best activities and most beautiful places are very close (Whitsundays, Hamilton Island  long Island and hayman(
