The Area: Magnetic Island, QLD

Known as “Maggie” to the locals, Magnetic Island is a national park covered isle just a few kilometres offshore from Townville. A popular spot for tourists and locals alike, the destination offers sailing, diving and snorkelling experiences along with nature walks to spot the local flora and fauna. Take a sea kayak tour around the island to learn its secrets, lap up the sun and get hearts beating all at once.

Families head to Riverway for all-ages fun, whether it’s a dip in the swimming lagoons, stroll through the cultural centre or coffee in a buzzing café. Hit up one of a handful of beaches, creeks and swimming holes for a true tropical north Queensland experience, following dips up with a wander through lush rainforest. On selected days of the week, travellers can bring back trinkets and treasures from their time in the city at a market – try Cotters Markets, Willows Markets or Showgrounds Markets.
