Above and Below Gallery Wins GOLD at 2025 Whitsunday Tourism Awards

Above and Below Gallery has been awarded GOLD in the Retail and Services category at the 2025
Tourism Whitsunday Awards, recognising the gallery’s outstanding contribution to the Whitsundays’
tourism and creative industries.

Owner and photographer Brooke Miles said the recognition is a proud moment for the entire team and a reflection of the gallery’s dedication to sharing the beauty of the Whitsundays through art, along
with its reputation for great customer service.

“This award means so much to us,” Brooke said.

“Above and Below Gallery was created to share the natural beauty of the Whitsundays through high-quality art and gifts; from my camera’s perspective, and through prints that I feel truly capture the essence of our region.

“To be recognised among so many amazing local businesses is an incredible honour.

“I truly feel we go that extra step to ensure not only the product is perfect, but also our systems, team development and customer service.”

Located at the Boathouse Retail Precinct at The Port Of Airlie, Above and Below Gallery is known
for its breathtaking photographic art featuring the Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday Islands and North
Queensland coastline.

The gallery’s prints, gifts and homewares are inspired by the vibrant landscapes
both above and below the surface.

“We’re so proud to represent local art and photography on the big stage,” Brooke added.

“This award is for also for my team, whom without I would be lost! Thanks to my team, Alicia, Katie, Kerry and Eira. Also, everyone who supports local, from our visitors and collectors to our small local makers. It’s a wonderful thing, to be able to do what we love, and love what we do!”
