Description:
Magnetic Island is a wonderful island inside the Great Barrier Reef, just a few miles from Townsville on the North Queensland coast, Australia. many residents commute to Townsville to work each day. There is a hi-speed cataraman service running regularly during the day.
Magnetic Island is a favorite destination for 'backpackers' visiting Australia.
ZOOM OUT when you get to the map to see the whole island ands it's relationship to the Australian coast.
I was born, and grew up in Townsville till the age of 19. After many, many places in between, I now live in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
