Magnetic Iceland, Adventure Island also for the small budget!

Discovered in 1770 by Captain James Cook, Magnetic Iceland is just 20 minute ferry ride from Townsville on the northeast coast of Australia away. I was the only 50 km2 island was very pleasantly surprised and I have seen in 3 days more animals than the zoo!

We globetrotters always have to pay so on a budget and on the island can be a lot of activities such as hiking and snorkeling without making tour itself.

Probably the most beautiful hike is the forts in only 1.5 hours you can walk up to the old fortress, while next to the beautiful views of the surrounding bays, if you also need a very good eye for koalas.

I must say the little teddy bears are very very sweet, you could watch them for hours doing nothing really.

There are also other trails that lead mainly to the coves that are only accessible on foot and the snorkeling dirket from the beach is possible.

Unfortunately, I was the weather god left in the last few weeks something down so that it has rained almost every day and the view of the snorkeling was too bad. But then, if the sun comes out, it does not matter really hot and muggy and you can get a good sweat!

Nevertheless, I was able to make some nice photos on Magnetic Iceland, the small kangaroos that had wallabies grazing peacefully on the neighboring meadow at the hostel, the rays equal scared in the murky water like me, the blue crab but buried the possum was waiting at the showers to eat. Who knows if I pop in again on the next trip around the world with better weather 😉
