Checked out early due to another crap nights sleep. Waited around for Conny who I met on the boat as we're both heading to Magnetic Island. Had a slow walk up to the bus where we met our driver who insisted on showing us his odd socks, a very happy chappy bless him.
A 5 hour journey up the coast to Townsville, we arrived at 2.10pm and luckily made it for the 2.15 ferry. A short 20 minute journey over to Magnetic Island, from the sea it looks incredible.
Onto a public bus for a 15 minute drive to the hostel and is absolutely amazing, right on the beach, my room has a particularly beautiful view with a balcony jutting out over the rocks below on the beach. I can see why people spend weeks here.
Out for a quick walk back to the main town with Conny and Katie who we met on the bus as there is nothing at all around the hostel.
Back to the hostel for drinks and food, and later bingo, which was great fun watching everyone get really into it and having to do certain things when particular numbers were called. Katie managed to win a pink elephant she had been eyeing up from the grabber machine, on the first attempt I might add, never seen anyone so excited!
A great day and an amazingly beautiful place!
