So what could be better than taking the ferry out to Magnetic Island, 8 kms off the coast and only 20 minutes away by the ferry cat.
On arrival we caught the local bus and purchased an all day ticket which allowed us to hop on and off as often as we wanted. So to start with we headed off to Horseshoe Bay.
We walked up and down the length of the beach with the warm water just lapping our bare feet in the clean soft sand.
Here we had our lunch overlooking the bay.
We hopped back on the bus and continued on to Picnic Bay walking out on the original pier and where the boats use to come into from the mainland before the main ferry terminal was built .
Needless to say we had a great day and by the time we arrived back at the mainland and driven back to our little home we were quite exhausted. If you have the chance make sure you visit this majestic island. The activities that you can do here is almost endless with bush walking, scuba diving, cycling, fishing , sailing, it goes on and on, no wonder it's such a popular holiday destination for Australian families and of course the back packers.
