NATURAL ASSETS
Hayman is a continental island of some 294 hectares
(726 acres), rising to 250 metres (820 feet) at its highest point.
The resort is located on the southerly shore fronted by a sweeping
sandy beach and surrounded by 14 hectares (34 acres) of lush tropical
gardens. Beyond the beach lies an 800 metre (2624 foot) wide sand
flat with fringing coral reef that is exposed at low tide revealing
interesting coral formations and an array of marine life. Hayman's
flora is diverse and includes the Poplar Gum, Port Jackson Fig,
Moreton Bay Ash, Mackay Cedar, Whitsunday Kurrajong, Grass Trees
and various Wattles. A variety of birds inhabit the island, the
most likely to be sighted including White Cockatoos, Painted Lorikeets,
Kookaburras, Stone Curlews and Kingfisher. From May to November
butterflies traditionally swarm in thousands within the confines
of shaded gullies feasting on the nectar of the Eucalyptus and other
flowering plants. Guests may catch sight of Hayman's colony of Proserpine
Rock Wallabies and, during an island walk, experience natural bushland
and Australian flora and fauna. All are protected under the Nature
Conservation Act. The crystal clear waters surrounding Hayman are
a kaleidoscope of coloured coral and tropical fish. Hayman is also
home to families of swans and ducks who reside in the resort's lagoons.
All are integrated into a beautiful landscape, which is a blend
of manicured gardens meandering throughout the resort and rugged
bushland into which guests can venture on a fascinating island walk,
to scenic lookouts and exquisite beaches. |
