• 6-8 July 2012 – Great Barrier Feast with Guillaume Brahimi, a weekend of divine food at the divine qualia
• 29 July-3 August 2012 – AWAY the Art of Photography, a week of hands-on workshops with great Australian photographers
• 17-25 August 2012 – Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, from serious offshore racing to onshore glitz, glamour and gourmet fare
• 9-11 November 2012 – Fujifilm Hamilton Island Triathlon & Ocean Swim, four challenging events held over two days including the Whitehaven Beach Ocean Swim
