Next town on the list was Townsville for 2 nights not really much to say about this place to be honest - town wasn't that nice and hostel was grotty. We spent one of the days walking down the strand and lazing by the rock pool (man made pool by the sea) this was really nice.
Caught the ferry to Magnetic Island where we spent one night. The island is very quiet, we were staying in one of the bays at Base Backpackers which was right on the beach and had great views. We hopped on the island bus about 6 times and got to see all the bays on the island- there was absolutely nothing at each one everything seemed to be closed and hardly any people about!
Headed to Mission Beach, our hostel was in the middle of nowhere so just relaxed there for 2 days- weather was pretty miserable- so dont think we got to see the best of this place as the main attraction there is to just relax on the beach. We did attempt to walk to the town along the beach but after an hour and half walking we decided to head back - later found out that at that point we were only 10 minutes away from the town!
Realised that we are travelling very light for girls as the columbian guy in our room had a shelf full of toiletries including Johnsons holiday skin- every day he walked in he seemed to be more orange- obviously scared of losing his tan as it was raining!
