Magnetic Island, Australia, Travel Video Guide

December 28th, 2010 13 comments

Magnetic Island, ten minutes ferry ride from Townsville is unique in that it has a permanent residential population of about 2000 people. This means unlike alot of ‘resort’ islands, Magnetic caters for all budgets. More than half the Island is national park and thus wildlife such as koalas, wallabies, possums and birdlife are plentiful. I didn’t interview a local on Magnetic, I decided I would just concentrate on the natural beauty of the Island. I got some great wildlife shots and the beaches and bays are to die for.
