    So sad that it’s just been left there abandoned. It has so much still standing. It could easily be turned into an epic resort again!

    A fair amount of the timber related stuff on the island was built by my Grandad (All the white tables you see laying around) and the big pillars at the still in service restaurant/café. But just such a shame to see it all rotting away

    Crazy I remember visiting that resort and walking all over that island as a kid (the look outs are magic). Beautiful island, I'd live there as a maintenance worker if the resort was still going!

    It's really sad to see all these fantastic resorts rotting away.
    Great keppel, south Molle, dunk Island just to name a few. I was there in the late 70's and 80's they were all seriously wonderful places in a beautiful part of the world.
    I'd love to know what sealed their fate, was it COVID?
    It's a real shame and Qld is far less of a destination without them and the fantastic people who used to run and staff them.

      Each Island had different issues, most were damaged by cyclones, I think Keppel just abandoned by the lessor.

      All i know is that somebody brought the resort in 2006 and 2 years later in 2008 it was abandoned. Im not 100% with what i’d said but i don’t know if its true or not.
