Victor Island

A tropical island has gone up for sale in the Whitsundays, for the price you might see at a Sydney auction.

The residence is powered by solar panels with a backup generator, and has a large rainwater storage capacity (225,000 litres) and a desalination plant. Victor Island is about 1km off the Australian eastern seaboard, and there are no other resorts, residents, or even national parkland on the island. All that is on offer for $4 million - the price of a house or even apartment in some parts of Sydney and Melbourne.
