1. The only one I've been to was Fraser for 7 days, it was great! There's no roads, you just drive on the beach. Lots of dingoes. We drove around the whole island, it's beautiful. My in-laws took us, their friends gave us a house for the week. They're from Caloundra in Brisbane.
2. Hamilton from what I have been told. (I honeymoon there in October) However, I am the only one in my family who has not been to fraser, and apparently it is amazing.
3. go to either Fraser or Hamilton Island Fraser Island is great for camping, fishing, four wheel driving and bushwalking. Hamilton Island is great for snorkelling, canoeing, relaixng and exploring the Great Barrier Reef.....but you pay more for accomodation. good luck and enjoy your travels!
4. Of the islands you've listed, I would choose Lord Howe (not Rowe) Island. It's uniquely beautiful, very small but mountainous with amazing rainforest. Not much to do there as far as nightlife goes, but lovely for relaxing. Fraser Island has some beautiful parts and driving along the beach is a great experience, but I was there not long ago and it's being spoilt by too many people and too much regulation. Dunk Island was beautiful but I haven't been there for years and I'm not sure how it is now. I don't like Hamilton myself - too glitzy and artificial for me, but if that's the type of thing you like, I know many people think it's great. If money's no object, Lizard Island and Orpheus Island are reported to be marvellous but I've never been to either.
