    Magnetic Island

    May 22, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    We had a day trip to Magnetic Island. Only a quick 20 min ferry ride. I haven't seen a hillier place. Glad we had a day bus pass and didn't hire a car or take over our car. After getting into Nelly Bay we went around to Horseshoe Bay (we were told not as windy there). Spent lots of time just looking out over the ocean. I did put my feet in the water but was a little chilly. Mark decided not to try. We went for a little walk before getting on the bus back to Nelly Bay for lunch of what else seafood. Went to Picnic Bay to have a look at the jetty before heading back to the main land. All of the island is one amazing view after another. It was one of the most relaxing days ever.Read more
