chirp$...!
Lizard Island is a National Park... but the Resort area and the airstrip is leased.
And the strip was built at their cost presumably so they can charge what they like.
I know, I know ... it was just a landing, not a purchase agreement deposit!
The idea of the huge ldg fee is....stay away if yr not booked into the resort.
Camping permits used to be/still are ? available from the Park authority... best to go there by boat or seaplane.
Top spot tho.! As long as its not blowing a 35kt Sth Easterly.
