Map and aerial photo of Great
Keppel Island from the Internet. Great Keppel is a continental
island (it was originally part of the mainland) about 15 km from shore
and 1,454 hectares in size. The aerial photo shows Putney Beach,
the
Spit, and Fisherman's Beach most prominently. The ferry pulls up
on Fisherman's Beach and most of the accomodations are in that
area. At the bottom of the photo, the two dark patches are
fringing reef off Shelving Beach (there is more fringing reef off
Monkey
Beach but the photo is cut off). Continuing around, Long Beach
(lower right) is more exposed. North of Long Beach is Mount
Wyndham. Further around are Coconut Point and the far side of the
island up to the Big Peninsula (a bit cut off). The long
curved beach a the top of the photo is Leeke's Beach.
