Dent Island (Queensland)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dent Island is an island just off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Dent Island is located at 20°21′S 148°56′E / -20.35, 148.933. Dent Island is part of the Whitsunday Group and lies immediately west of Hamilton Island. The Whitsunday Group is one of the Island Groups that together comprise the Whitsunday Islands (also known as the Greater Whitsunday Islands or Greater Whitsundays).
The earliest charts of the Whitsunday area showed only one island, named ‘Passage Island’ where Dent Island and Hamilton Island currently lie. It was not until 1866, when Commander G. S. Nares, Royal Navy, on HMS Salamander, carried out a detailed survey of the northern waters of the Whitsunday Passage that the charts were amended to show two separate islands. Dent Island was named after Lieutenant Albert Dent of the HMS Salamander.
In 1879 as part of a Government programme of improving navigational aids along the Queensland coast, a lighthouse was erected on the island, the first in the area. It is located at 20°22.3′S 148°55.8′E / -20.3717, 148.93.
Another small mangrove island in Queensland is known locally as "Dent Island", It is located in the Proserpine River just downstream of the mouth of Saltwater Creek. It was given the name after the 33 tons steamer Ada Dent shipwrecked and sank in deep water off Lady Elliot Island on June 21, 1907.
Construction of the Hamilton Island Golf Club is currently underway on Dent Island and is due to open in Late 2008. This 19 hole golf course is to be operated by Hamilton Island. Designed by five times British Open winner Peter Thomson, the championship course will also feature an exclusive club house and a range of luxury homes and villas.
