Lindeman Island is an island in the Lindeman Group of the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The island was named by Captain Bedwell after his sub-lieutenant, George Sidney Lindeman whilst aboard the Royal Navy vessel HMS Virago.[1]
Most of the island is included in the Lindeman Islands National Park which also protects another 13 islands.[2] There is also a resort and an airport on the island.[3]
Lindeman Island was created after a volcanic mountain range was drowned by rising sea levels.[2]

Resort
The resort was the first Club Med established in the Whitsunday Islands and in 1992 became the only Club Med village in Australia.[4]
Lindeman Island resort was closed on 31 January 2012.[5] On the 27 April 2012 it was purchased by White Horse Holding, a Chinese firm, for $12 million.[6] The price paid was considerably lower than expected because the resort needed refurbishment.
