56 Yates St, Nelly Bay Magnetic Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia, 4819, 61-7-4778-5955
Got the Greyhound as usual up to Townsville where I caught the ferry across to Magnetic Island. Apparently, Cook named the island this after his compass went doolally when he was here way back when. It has never been seen since, maybe he'd been out on the lash. You never know. Got off the ferry and decided to walk the kilometre to the resort where we were staying.

Magnetic Island, Australia mattoliverCheckout was at 10.00 so we checked out and got the bus to the ferry. Tonight's the full moon party on Magnetic Island - we didnt think we'd be there in time so didn't book it so booked it online on the way there (was cheaper too!).

The rest of the island is all national parks so you cant get anywhere else unless ...
Magnetic Island, Queensland, Australia thai_ler... beach rave as expected, just a party in a bar, so no drinking your own booze, they were actually going round the dorms and searching them for drink and then chucking it. Nae need. Music was cheesey, I head a Right Said Fred remix at one point. Had a laugh like and managed not to get too drunk so feel pretty good today. Gonna chill all day now and then leave tomorrow.<br><br>Asia in 3 days!

The hostel ...
Magnetic Island, Queensland, Australia charlottemartin... weeks) and was hoping to try go catch a game or go to a training session to grab an autograph. However it turns out that his team is based in Townsville which is the place we have just left to catch the ferry, we do go back through it on Friday but only for a few hours to catch a bus, so unless I can figure something out the chance of meeting the Liverpool Legend might have to go on hold because I'm not sure if I can justify taking the 6 hour bus journey back ...
