The first time I heard of Magnetic Island, I felt compelled to visit it. I'm not sure why - it was not logical, just a feeling I had. But at some point during my stay in Cairns, I felt I was not enjoying Australia. I gave some serious thought to ending my trip early, but in the end I did not give up. Little signs told me to keep going. So from Cairns I hopped on a Greyhound bus to Townsville, and from Townsville the ferry to Magnetic Island. I'm glad I didn't give up, because things only got better...
Where's Magnetic Island?
There she is
I liked the way these travellers looked, so I snapped a photo.
Little did I know that they were my reasons for going to Magnetic Island.
The hostel , Base
More like a resort!
If the staff hadn't been so curt and useless, this may have been one of my favorite hostels of all-time.
