Cyclone Hamish passes Whitsundays without incident
Hamilton Island is getting back to business as usual after Cyclone Hamish threatened last night and this morning.
The island went into its most advanced state of preparedness at around 10.30pm last night when all guests and residents were requested to remain inside their accommodation buildings.
Hamilton Island management provided guests with free meals for breakfast, morning tea and lunch as well as offering free in-room movies.
The Hamilton Island airport is closed today, however restaurants are expected to open for dinner service tonight. Due to the unpredictable nature of cyclones, the island will remain on cyclone alert until it has completely passed the area.
There are currently around 1180 guests on the island plus a resident base of around 1000 people.
