We left Cairns and headed for Townsville. We only stayed a night as the next day we were going to Magnetic island. We got the ferry over to the island,it didn't take long. Our hostel is right on the beach. We didn't really do a great deal, manly get up have breakfast then sunbathe!! We also hired a sae kayak for a bit and went paddling in the bay! It's beautiful!! It was nice to chill and relax while topping up our tans!!
