Magnetic Island

Magnetic Island is a blissful paradise with laid-back resorts on the beach, cool cafes, pub with good grub and lots of walks and things to do.  The lagoon walk led us through lovely melaleuca and pandanus forest to the western end of the beach, then the army landing vessels arrived again, doing some exercises on the beach. We found catamaran Zulu anchored in Horseshoe Bay – skipper Rod was our inspiration to try the cruising life when we met him on Great Keppell Island, while we were looking for a block of land or house.  His expression that “a house is just a poorly-designed yacht, run aground” has stayed with us, and here we are enjoying it all.
