Magnetic Island

Another day and another coach, unfortunately this one was late by almost two hours, eventually we arrived in Townsville if just a little later than planned, then onto a boat over to the island, there are a few islands around the area and with the sea mist it looked remarkably similar to the journey we had made from Phi Phi to Phuket in Thailand a couple of weeks before.
The Hostel was a little different to others we had been in, instead of large block with dorm rooms this was lots of huts each with a few bunks in. Palm trees line all the footpaths and the pool, the hostel hosts a full moon party and it looks like a great place to be when it happens, large open decked bar with steps down from it all to the beach. In the morning I woke early and ran/jogged up to the point on an off road path and clambering over rocks, it around 7 in the morning and it was still rather warm, coming back quite drenched after seeing some great views and time for a jump in the pool followed by a walk to the nearest shop.
Food loaded up and time to head to cairns.
