Sunday, 19 May 2002Townsville --> Magnetic Island, Australia
From Julie's place in Townsville we both got on the ferry to Magnetic Island, a wonderful place to live and to stay for a while. I am probably not leaving before the laptop has arrived and that might take a while ;-(
Two thirds of Magnetic Island is national park featuring huge strands of eucalyptus trees and abundant wildlife, including koalas, wallabies, kangaroos and varied birdlife. There are 23 beaches and bays with golden sand; some not even easily accessible. There are nearly 25 km of walking tracks so its easy to find one suitable for my level of fitness.
I like it here!
