Magnetic Island is located approximately 8 kms north east off the coast of Townsville. The Forts is probably the most popular attraction for tourists to Magnetic Island. Located high on a hill overseeing Horseshoe, Arthur, Florence and Radical Bays, the walk to the WWII command post is a popular place to take in a number of views over the surrounding bays and ocean. There are also two gun emplacements and an observation post to see while in the facility. The command post provides an exceptional 360-degree view of the surrounding bays out to the ocean. To get around we hired a Mini Moke for the day.
