Magnetic Island

Townsvilles version of Rotnest but with Koalas instead of Quokas, not sure who wins the cuteness competition.

Magnetic Island is an island 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) offshore from the city of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. This 52 km2 (20.1 sq mi) mountainous island in Cleveland Bay has effectively become a suburb of Townsville, with 2,107 permanent residents. The island is accessible from Townsville Breakwater to Nelly Bay Harbour by ferry. There is a large 27 km2 (10.4 sq mi) National Park and bird sanctuary and walking tracks can be taken between the populated bays and to a number of tourist destinations such as the World War II forts.

Horseshoe Bay

Now Horesshoe bay is a great beach town with icecream and bars and restaurants and a fab beach, but ONE public toilet, not one block for men and one for women or one block for both. Just ONE toilet for everybody admittedly it talks to you in a very sexy female voice, but come on Council hundreds of people use this town beach every day and need to change and use the toilet ONE very expensive talking toilet is not enough

Picnic Bay

PicnicBay is very small one pub/hotel and nothing else we could not even buy and icecream, the 45mins between busses was probably 15mins too long to wait.
