 Wild goats were introduced to the island in the nineteenth century as a food source for shipwrecked sailors.First established in 1937, the island's resort lies on Bauer Bay on the northern end of the island and so is well protected from the prevailing south easterly winds.The resort area, now known as South Molle Island Resort, is owned by Koala Adventures and has a nine-hole golf course in addition to 200 rooms that can accommodate 600 guests.
