What is so great about Magnetic Island?

"Magnetic Island is the only island on the North Queensland Coast with a delightful blend of untouched National Park within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Where the rocky headlands meet the sea, there are more than 20 bays and beaches many secluded, which may only be reached by boat. A resident population of about 2,500 and a variety of holiday resorts hotels and restaurants. Just twenty minutes by fast "Cat" across Cleveland Bay from Townsville and you could be in what many consider Paradise! Ferry passenger services with up to 14 return trips daily also a vehicle barge with up to 7 return trips daily. Townsville airport is just a ten minutes taxi ride from the ferry terminal with direct flights to and from major cities to Townsville.

More than half of the Island's 5,184 hectares is National Park, with Mt Cook in the centre rising to 497 metres. Tall Hoop pines; eucalyptus forest and small patches of rain forest soften the huge granite boulders. There are 24kms of walking track through the park with many spectacular lookouts. The National Park is a haven for wildlife, like koalas, rock wallabies, possums and a wide variety of bird-life. It is a special find, given that you can purchase freehold land on an island with mainland water and power supply. A primary school, Medical Centre. Aged Care Centre, Men's Shed, Bowls Club, Golf Course & Kids Skate Park are just some of the facilities available on the island.
