Alma Bay - Magnetic Island - Townsville QLD
Alma Beach is one of the easiest to access beaches on Magnetic Island. You can find accomodation very close and there is a pub near by for food and refreshments and if you wait around until dusk then its easy to duck around to Arcadia to feed the Rock Wallabies.
The rock formations on Magnetic Island are truely amazing and every beach has its own signature arrangement that makes it distinguishable to locals and those with a keen eye. The sedimentary layers and texture in the beach sand give Magnetic Island a jurassic vibe.

Koala on the loose (Magnetic Island, Aus)
They say Koala's don't move much but this one is one the loose... Taking in to account that he is climbing down from a pine tree instead of a melaleuca makes him look a bit more doped, or at least lost...

Townsville and The Ville Resort-Casino. Living it up in the tropics
Townsville, North Queensland is Australia's largest tropical city yet by world standards it is small. For visitors, it has much appeal because there are stunning beaches, watersports, a striking hill, great restaurants, a wonderful off-shore island, and a relaxing laid-back vibe. As a bonus, the central area is ideal for walking and there are parks and gardens, museums, a huge living coral aquarium, bars and nightclubs and more to explore. Iconic Magnetic Island is a short ferry or barge ride away and this provides many additional things to do such as reef snorkeling, kayaking, jet skiing, sailing, sunset cruising, beach horseback riding, and koala and wallaby viewing.
There is excellent accommodation choice with The Ville Resort and Casino being the stand-out venue.

Townsville Travel Guide - An Australian Exceptional Experience
Townsville Travel Guide - An Australian Exceptional Experience
Northern Queensland's often-overlooked major city is easy on the eye: at Townsville's heart is its handsome, endless esplanade, an ideal viewing platform to fabulous Magnetic Island, a mere ferry ride offshore. A better museum and aquarium you'll struggle to find in Queensland, and it's a pedestrian-friendly city, its grand, refurbished 19th-century buildings offering loads of landmarks. If in doubt, join the throngs of the fit and fabulous marching up bright red Castle Hill to gaze across the city's dry environs.
Townsville is a city on the north-eastern coast of Queensland, Australia. Townsville is Australia's largest urban centre north of the Sunshine Coast. Considered the unofficial capital of North Queensland by locals, Townsville hosts a significant number of governmental, community and major business administrative offices for the northern half of the state. It is in the dry tropics region of Queensland, adjacent to the central section of the Great Barrier Reef. The city is also a major industrial centre, home to one of the world's largest zinc refineries, a nickel refinery and many other similar activities. The Port of Townsville is also being expanded to allow much larger cargo ships from Asia and the world's largest passenger ships to visit. It is an increasingly important port due to its proximity to Asia and major trading partners such as China.
Popular attractions include The Strand, a long tropical beach and garden strip; Riverway, a riverfront parkland attraction located on the banks of Ross River; Reef HQ, a large tropical aquarium holding many of the Great Barrier Reef's native flora and fauna; the Museum of Tropical Queensland, built around a display of relics from the sunken British warship HMS Pandora; Castle Hill or as it was originally known Cootharinga, the most prominent landmark of the area and a popular place for exercise; The Townsville Sports Reserve; and Magnetic Island, a large neighbouring island, the vast majority of which is national park.
The historic waterfront on Ross Creek, site of the original wharves and port facilities, has some old buildings mixed with the later modern skyline. However, the central city is dominated by the mass of red granite of Castle Hill, 286 metres (938 ft) high. There is a lookout at the summit giving panoramic views of the city and its suburbs, including Cleveland Bay and Magnetic Island. There are a number of parks scattered throughout the city, including three botanical gardens — Anderson Park, Queens Gardens and The Palmetum.
Townsville is characterised as a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw). Owing to a quirk of geographical location, Townsville's winter rainfall in particular is not as high as elsewhere in the eastern coastal tropics of Queensland, such as Cairns. The Australian Festival of Chamber Music is an international chamber music festival held over ten days each July in Townsville. The festival has been running since 1991, and attracts many acclaimed international and Australian musicians. Townsville also has its own orchestra, the Barrier Reef Orchestra.
Townsville is on the coast and enjoys an average of 320 days of sunshine a year. It is an appealing place for locals and a great jumping off point for visitors, especially to Magnetic Island which is only 25-45 minutes by passenger or car ferry. A great spot for visitors wanting a taste of outback Australia while not venturing far from the coast. It offers a quiet cosmopolitan feel with its good choice of restaurants & bars but also has a relaxing siesta style during the hottest parts of the day in high summer. Townsville takes great pride in being the unofficial Capital of North Queensland.

Shipwreck Grove
STUNNING video and photographs showcase the eye-popping British shipwreck that became a grove of trees despite being 330-yards from the coastline and being used for target practice during WW2.
Footage taken by physiotherapist Conor Moore, 24, from Innisfail, Queensland show the fascinating wreckage of the SS City of Adelaide, a passenger steam ship that was launched from Britain on 22 December 1863, was wrecked by a fire in 1912 and is now part of the island’s ominous shipwreck trail.

20/11/2017 :: Townsville is a very sparse city in Queensland, along the East Coast of Australia. In order to travel to Magnetic Island you will take a ferry from here. Most travellers don’t spend time in Townsville as there is not much to do at all, especially considering the boring nightlife. There is one bar/club that does not charge for entry and will give you a good night with the right people, however, everywhere else has an expensive entry fee. Louis and I stayed in Townsville for 9 days or so. What did we do? not much in all honesty. We hiked the Castle Hill (which is more of a mini mountain) one evening for the sunset, and then hiked it 3 hours later at 3am to catch the unreal sunrise over such a sparse, lush area of land that you saw at the beginning. We also visited the aquarium, turtle sanctuary and museum, whilst walking the promenade that views Magnetic Island the whole way. However, the defiant highlight was spending time with our, now life long mates from Vancouver Island in Canada, that we met in an even more ‘less-to-do’ town, Hannah and Taylor ❤️ We love you guys and always will do. Louis and I also made close mates with two German girls called Klara and Reikie, who we went on to see again in Cairns. For this reason Townsville will always give us all special memories to hold onto!!
