The 13th edition of 100 Magic Miles provides information on the islands and anchorages of the Whitsundays, including moorings, and steps to further protect the coral reefs of the area.
First published in August 2019 the 13th edition is in large measure still up to date as at November 2020. However, as happens every year in the Whitsundays, changes are made to things such as mooring, reef protection areas, resorts, etc and therefore the revised edition incorporates the very latest details.
The 13th edition also includes information on island camping, fishing in the Whitsundays, important information on first aid and advice for staying safe when on and in the water.
