Thanks for joining me for a walk around this wonderfully magical island exploring both the island and showing you some of the resort that is now destroyed after a cyclone (hurricane) hit it in 2017.
I fell in love with this island and the mainland way back in 1989 when on holiday with my partner of 8 years. Unfortunately he was killed suddenly just after Christmas in 89 and couldn't make the move with me to live back up there was I went anyway in late 1990 and even though I had to leave I still feel like it's my home.
The resort does still have people there maintaining what is still there so unfortunately I wasn't allowed in due to safety reasons.
I explore the islands tropical rainforest before finding the abandoned artist colony which I might add was an adventure in itself and I did ask permission to try and find it from one of the care takers on the island so anyone out there wanting to find this place, you do need permission as you do have to walk through private property.
I'd heard that most of the colony had been pulled down years ago was I wasnt expecting much. Maybe some old foundations and torn down timbers but I certainly was not expecting to find what I did and I was totally blown away by what I'd found.
So sit back and enjoy the explore with me.

I have provided the links to the original owner of the island E.J Banfield.
His books inspired me greatly and still love them now.
