    About the Island 

    Magnetic Island is located 8km off the coast of Townsville. Easily accessible from Townsville airport. Magnetic Island presents a striking landscape of massive granite boulders, towering hoop pines, scenic sandy bays and fringing reefs. The island is noted for its abundant wildlife and varied history. The island has some of the most picturesque spots which can be viewed via a 36-kilometre network of walking tracks. Look for koalas, rock wallabies, possums and a variety of birds. Swim or snorkel in secluded sandy bays and explore diverse reef and fish life. 

    Downwind Every Day

    Thats right! we are on an island so wherever the wind is blowing we will be downwinding. We will downwind every day and as many as we can do in a day! The more we downwind the better the beers taste. 

    Non Wind Days

    A 30km circumnavigation of Magnetic Island as a 3 person team would be loads of fun! Knock out 10km each and lets see which team wins. If there is time we can take on the Forts Walk - a 90 minute return walk to the WWII ruins overlooking the coral sea or perhaps we go deep sea fishing to catch some monster game fish. 

    Evenings

    There are a range of restaurants on the island to hang out together as a team with amazing food and celebration drinks.
