About Magnetic Island

Magnetic Island lies just offshore from Townsville in Queensland, Australia, boasting the region’s sunniest climate. Over half of this beautiful island is classified as a national park, so it is home to an array of wonderful wildlife including koalas, rock wallabies, possums and a number of colourful bird species. The island’s 40-kilometre coastline is blessed with some of the country’s most picturesque beaches and, if you’re an experienced scuba diver, you have access to one of the finest shipwreck diving sites in the world, SS Yongala, a passenger ship that sank in 1911. Magnetic Island is a popular spot for a short excursion from Townsville and so there are fast and frequent ferry crossings back to the Australian mainland departing from Nelly Bay on the southeast coast.
