Magnetic Island

Last week a friend and I heard about a trip that another college was doing to Magnetic Island, which lies 20 minutes (via ferry) of the coast of Townsville. We found ourselves lucky to be included in the group despite it not being a Uni Hall trip, and tagged along for a day of fun. Although I expected it to be a day of hiking, exploring, and possibly snorkeling it ended up consisting mostly of bumming around the beach - which is all good fun, but was not what I expected. The best part of the trip was before we got to the beach when we discovered a small waterfall, under and above which were picturesque wading/bathing areas (I say bathing as there was enough room to sit in the water, but not enough to actually swim). Sadly, that is the extent of my story here, there is not too much to tell, but here are some fun pictures to satisfy your curiosity!
