MAGNETIC ISLAND<br />
the pull of the full moon party<br />
History has it that Captain Cook<br />
coined the name Magnetic Island<br />
when it appeared to affect the<br />
magnetic compass on his ship. A<br />
short ferry ride from Townsville,<br />
Magnetic Island (or ‘Maggie’ as<br />
the locals call it) boasts coralfringed<br />
bays, wild koalas in the<br />
eucalypt woodlands and beautiful<br />
ocean views from Mount Cook. If<br />
you like to party, head down to<br />
the beach for fire poi, neon body<br />
paint and class DJs on the island’s<br />
very own <strong>Full</strong> Moon Party.<br />

Spoil yourself and escape with two nights at Base Magnetic Island - Australia’s only<br />
backpackers located bang on the beach. Spend your days relaxing by the sea, chilling<br />
in the café or exploring the Forts Walk where you can stroll along looking for Northern<br />
Australia’s largest colony of wild koalas. Recharge your batteries in your eight-bed<br />
dorm and spend the evenings sipping on daiquiris or grab your dancing shoes and party<br />
the night away by the pool. Base also hosts a <strong>Full</strong> Moon Party once a month with some<br />
of the best Aussie and international DJs, so if you’re looking for Oz’s answer to Koh<br />
Phangan, time your stay in order to grab the UV paint and rave on the beach until the<br />
sun comes up. With return ferry tickets, a welcome drink, one free breakfast and dinner,<br />
snorkel hire plus a sea-kayak session, what are you waiting for?<br />
