Lady Elliot and Heron Island, plus the ones I don't know. Most larger
islands are the continental types.

Heron is absolutely wonderful!

It is worth the cost.

Green Island is off Cairns and very popular with tourists.

Yes, wonderful and rather upmarket. I liked Lady Elliot better. They had
anything but luxury, and the guests were considered as personal friends
after a day or two. Hope it still is this way.

Thanks all for the replies. I took a look at the web sites for Heron
and Green. They look great. I visited LEI in 1999 and loved it and so
would like a similar experience. Both Heron and Green look like similar
places to LEI though the accomodations on Heron are of a different
order! Still it looks very interesting and nice. Thanks again.
