Me voici encore et toujours en rondade salto arriere mais cette fois ci a Magnetic Island c'est une île d'australie situé dans la mer de corail de l'océan pacifique.
Elle est situé prés de Townsville.

Magnetic Island, just offshore from the city of Townsville, Queensland, Australia in Cleveland Bay is a 52 km² mountainous island which has effectively become a suburb of Townsville having 2,107 permanent residents.[1] It is accessible from Townsville to Nelly Bay by ferry operated by Sunferries. There is a large 27 km² national park and bird sanctuary and excellent walking tracks can be taken between the populated bays and to a number of tourist destinations such as the World War II Forts.

The island has long become established as a holiday destination with many hotels and several resorts in operation to cater for all levels of service.

The Island is a haven for wildlife and is 54% National Park which is mostly located on the steep hilly interior and rugged north western side.

One of the most distinctive features of Magnetic Island is the native Bush Stone-curlews - a bird with a piercing cry which has awakened many a visitor in the night when they are most active.

Koalas are relatively common on the Island and can easily be found on the famous Forts Walk.
