Q8 Reading comprehension 5 marks
Lizard Island is only 30 km off the far north Queensland Coast and 250 km north of Cairns, the most
northerly city in Northeastern Australia. The 1012 hectare island is spectacularly rugged with vegetation
ranging from grassland to rainforest and encompassing pandanus swamp, eucalyptus woodland and
mangroves. The most recent discoverers of this island were Sir Sydney Williams and another north
Queensland businessman, Mr. John Wilson, now a Brisbane stock broker. For several years from 1968,
they camped on Lizard Island for annual fishing holidays and in 1974 after obtaining a Queensland
government lease with other business men built four cabins for guests, In the next step of development
in 1978, the raised the number of bungalows to eight, then to fifteen in 1982 and in 1984 the complex
was bought by the Queensland State Govt. Insurance Office.
The island is consistently visited by those who seem to be quite careful with their health. Each bungalow
has all the facilities expected in such an elegant resort including a well stocked mini bar. It is of this that
Australian prime ministers for the last decade have taken heed, as they constantly retreat to this island
to rest, relax and lick the wounds of office. Since the island attracts people from all over the world, most
of the time it remains packed. One of the island resorts founders Queensland aviation pioneer Sir Sydney
Williams, affirms that a sturdy Arab sheikh once came ashore from a luxury yacht and tried to book a
suite for the night. When told the place was full he promptly produced a cheque book and offered to
buy it.
