    this base was really cool. the reception wasnt open 24 hours so thats not useful if your locked out at 5am!! the full moon party was o.k, so much techno music, if you were on drugs all night it would be great!the weather was amazing and its so beautiful. one tip is to bring your own food, the supermarket is a 25min long walk away and so is everything else. there is a bus stop opposite which is useful.

    Magnetic Island

    I LOVE THIS ISLAND!!! So so relaxed and chilled - loads of beautiful beaches and bays with the clearest water. Great fishing spots too.

    Insider Tip:Hire a moke from Moke Magnetic - the BEST money I have spent in Australia and means you really get to explore the island uunder your own steam rather than waiting around for the bus.

    Do not eat the $10 dinner. It sounds great. But portions are rationed and you are not allowed to make return trips (i.e. it is not a buffet). Kitchen is a mess, but it is definitely the better option.
