Would have been a fantastic resort, the infrastructure is in great condition and the caretakers take really good care of it and are super welcoming to visitors on the island! Would love to see it brought back to its glory days! 💜 -Cait
Oh wow! That's such a cool history! The place is in reasonable good condition, most of the structures look in pretty good condition, would be amazing to see it back up and running again - great location too, not too far from Airlie or Hamilton Island 😀 That's super neat about your Aunty and Uncle! -Cait
I too worked on South Molle back in the day (2000's) as a hostess on the yachts so watching these videos of the abandoned resorts has been absolutely amazing. thank you for your videos.
Awesome! There's a chance you might have worked with Sam (maybe you could tell me some stories 😜) We loved visiting Lindeman Island, really good walk and the caretakers were amazing and let us use their pool 💙 -Cait
I worked there through three separate developments and know the entire place. From the beaches to the top of Mt Oldfield. I always admired Thora Nicholson for the info she could supply. She saw it all. I love the place.
Thora was my dad's aunt, but we called her our Aunty... Fondly remember the place so much and visiting Aunty Thora and Uncle Lach. I miss her every day.
Hey Guys , great video lots of memories I worked on Lindeman before it was Club Med 1988-91 there was truly amazing staff in that time it was a wonderful place to live & work . Cheers Dave
Hey Dave! It is lovely to see new people on our page! We loved Lindelman Island, its amazing how well built the infrastructure is and it would have been amazing to see her up and running. Unfortunately we heard that the purchaser who was going to restore her has backed out 😕 Do you have pictures of Lindelman when you worked there? -Cait
Thank you very much for this video, I worked in Lindeman Island in 2010-2011 and it has been one of the best experiences in my life with wonderful people...your video has been a time travel. Barbara from Italy
Thank you so much for watching! It's amazing to see what it is right now, we have heard rumours that the resort might be bought and rebuilt - would be amazing to see a resort back up and running!
Great video, i actually had a club med holiday on Lindeman Island in December 1998 with my family. Hoping it gets returned back to its former self soon❤❤❤❤
Hey Stewart, we hope it gets restored aswell. It is a beautiful location! Unfortunately last we herd the works had stopped again but we will keep our fingers crossed 🤞 -sam
Hey Liz!! 👋 Thank you so much for the follow! We hope you are enjoying the adventure! Love that you are from Guilford, we have just seen some photos of the green covered in polar animals! 😍🐻❄️
It was awesome to see because Sam used to stop in there bringing the tourist boats in. It's in amazing structural condition and looks like it would clean up nicely. We have just learned that the buyer has pulled out but the resort is still up for sale. Hopefully it is able to be sold and brought back to its full potential! How did you like working there? What area was your favorite to work in? The Gold course and the Hole 13 pub look great
We have not been to Laurieton yet. I googled it and it looks nice. We will be heading off from the Gold Coast in a month or so. We will keep an eye out for you!
Perfect, we have to stay here for the next month as we have family obligations with my sister ut we will then be heading up to airlie beach to do a bit of work for the winter so there is a good chance we will come across you somewhere. 😀
Fantastic boat, nice video! I only habe a rubber boat like at the end of your video, but I like it and drive often with it in summer. Also use it often in my music videos.
Thank you! She's a 3.4m Highfield with 25hp outboard - we love it! She's gets up and flys! Super handy for fishing, explorinh, etc. Why type do you have?
So cool hey! 😎 so cool they have the island to themselves, I think I would have kept a tennis court and golf course going, there's like 3 or 4 (or more??) Different pools, how awesome would it be to be the caretaker! -Cait
Wonderful memories.... i keep checking to see when and if it will finally reopen. I doubt anyone will be in a hurry to sink the necessary money into it with the wY things are. 13:00
Would be amazing to see it up and running again! The caretakers we so lovely and it appeared to be in really good condition structure wise - would have been amazing back in its hay day -Cait
Oh wow! We've just missed you guys, it looks like you were there a week or two before we were. We are planning on doing the east coast this cruising season, would love to meet up with you guys. Charlie and Emily are the same age 😍
We hear that it might be on the cards to reopen the island - would be awesome to see it back up and running bit it was definitely an awesome day to have the whole resort to ourselves 😍🤗 -Cait
The hill was very much worth the climb! It was amazing views from the lookout and the pool was amazing - we would highly recommend the hike on Lindeman Island!💜 -Cait
I Luv this place , i holidayed on this island in the 70s with my family. My dad & i went to the look out point through 7 ft high yellow grass to apear up the ass of a bily goat. Evening the Golf COurse totally covered in toads & we brang back a grreen tree snake into the resort. Theres only 2 types of smakes on this island & their not poisonous. Done a daytrip to i think was Green ISland with Goanas on the beach & sand that squeks as you walk on it. Back then i would swim in a smalll pool although i cant see it in any of these footages. The only spot i could recognise was the wood bridge walkways to the rooms that we had stayed in. This place has surely changed so much when i was probably 12 yo when i was there. I sometimes dream that i live there my paradise home that i long for that i miss so much. If i had the money i would buy just to live there. Only other Island i had seen i would like to see , Great Keppel Island with such beautiful rainforrests.
Hey Rob! Sam and I were discussing the whole time we were at Lindelman about how much fun it would be to be the caretaker there - they have their own tennis courts, airplane runway, golf course, pool, etc etx. Would be awesome to be the caretaker and live there, 100% agree! The pool in the video is the one up the hill next to the golf course, a but hidden and off the track -Cait
Yes, lindeman is a beautiful island and the walking tracks are national park - very beautiful! Yes anyone can. Go ashore and hike them and we would highly recommend it as the view was amazing!
It would have been magnificent up and running! We read that someone was looking at purchasing it and restoring the resort - would be amazing to see back up ans running ✨️ -Cait
I visited Lindeman Island as a 10 year old in the mid-1980s.
It was amazing. So sad to see it decaying.
Would have been a fantastic resort, the infrastructure is in great condition and the caretakers take really good care of it and are super welcoming to visitors on the island! Would love to see it brought back to its glory days! 💜

The island was stated by my Aunty Thora and Uncle Lach. Such a sad state to see it like this. Was always a special place for me. Love lindeman.
