Magnetic Island

The ferry departed Townsville at 7:40am and after a short 35 minutes we arrived in Nelly Bay on beautiful Magnetic Island. We bought some lunch and hopped on a bus that took us to the northeastern part of the island. From there we hiked approximately 11km total visiting various bays. Since we were the almost the only people on the beach we didn't miss the opportunity to skinny dip (Pictures will NOT be available).

Of Arthur, Florence, Radical and Baldin Bay we liked Radical the most and spent the afternoon swimming and sun-bathing. On the way back we hitch-hiked and treated ourselves to a drink in Arcadia before catching the ferry back to the mainland at sunset.

What a beautiful day it has been... we can't say enough how priviledged we feel to have the opportunity to travel around this beautiful. We thank the Lord everyday for all the miracles and think of all the people who are less fortunate!
