MAGNETIC ISLAND
This is home. Magnetic Island is just 8 km from Townsville in north Queensland, but the island is very different from the mainland. It is a landscape of hills filled with huge granite boulders, some just balanced upon other rocks awaiting their time to fall, beautiful beaches and woodlands, wildlife, and residential as well. The basic services of city water and electricity are run in pipes and cables along the seabed from Townsville. Passenger ferries run daily from morning to evening (Sunferries Magnetic Island...contact sunferries@austarbusiness.net.au; or by Magnetic Island Car & Passenger ferry ...contact www.riversidemarine.com.au ). See our Links page with reference to Magnetic Island.
