Magnetic Island National Park
This Great Barrier Reef island has beaches, woodlands, and WWII forts.
Beaches, eucalyptus forests, and bush-clad mountains make up Magnetic Island National Park. Cruise out to the island from Townsville, climb the peak of Mount Cook to discover WWII-era forts, and explore more than 36 kilometres of bushwalking trails with plenty of wildlife watching opportunities. The island is part of the Great Barrier Reef, so taking to the water is a must—spy dugongs and sea turtles on a boat cruise or dive in to snorkel along colorful coral reefs. Camping is not permitted in the park, but campers have options on the island or along the mainland.
