This could be just the place !!!!
This private island is immense, so big, in fact, that there are actually 4 countries in the world with a smaller surface area! Situated off the coast of central Queensland between the towns of Mackay and Rockhampton, 20 nautical miles (37 km) from the Great Barrier Reef, Long Island is one of Queensland's largest coastal islands. Open grasslands, forests, and a beautiful coastline characterize the island. There are 4 sandy beaches, one of which is 4 km (2.5 miles) long, and the water temperature remains at 20-22

I, as a council member wannabe, would like to state my opinion. As you stated, this island is located at Australia. I do agree that it is an immensely good deal, however the waters are not the most friendly. These waters contain mass amounts of jellyfish. These are no ordinary jellyfish, however, and their sting is potent enough to kill a human within an hour. If we indeed purchase this isle, it would be an excellent precaution to stay away from the water. I myself have encountered a normal jellyfish and was stung, and it hurt like hell. I would not go in there.

Colin, you have read too much bad press about Australia .... I have been there and been swimming in the waters around the location of this island without incident. If we do find any problems with such jellyfish, it is a very simple procedure to protect an area with nets (which incidently will keep all but the largest sharks out as well
