There are two peaks on North Molle. They are Mt. Chaine and Mt. Sharp. Mt. Chaine, located on the southern end of the island, rises to a height of 213 meters above sea level. On the north end of the island, Mt. Sharp stands at 140 meters. The very northern most tip of North Molle is called Hanna Point.
The history of North Molle Island includes the Cooke family, owners of the island in the early 1900s, who had a sheep operation, with a shearing shed on the south end of the island. In the 50s, a freshwater creek on the island was dammed up, and the water taken by tank on ships to the nearby Daydream Island and Hayman Island. Since then, the water has been rerouted to serve a drinking tap just behind the most northerly beach on the western shore of North Molle. |
