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.
