Back to the island of time
25.08.11
Daydream is a favourite resort for families with young children but the fact I have friends aged 40-plus who still rave about childhood holidays there should have warned me the resort may be a touch dated. Elements such as the weather, timing, expectations, attitude and luck have an awful lot to do with it. So it's important, if you find the perfect trip, to never ever try and replicate it. combining all those elements in the same way again is... While we expected to hate such a manufactured experience, Dunk Island lived up to all the cliches of a picture-perfect postcard: fecund rainforest, calm seas, heat and hammocks with a view of safely swimming children. So, ignoring this obvious and rather ominous warning sign, we decided to try for a similar experience at Daydream Island in the Whitsundays. Last year my family and I had a perfect, never-to-be-repeated holiday.
