Add this to your Magnetic Island Bucket List ✨
This was another amazing experience that I easily booked through the @getyourguide app and it could not have gone better - the water was warm, the fishies were out and the vibes were high! 🏝️
👉🏼Highlights for me:
- Snorkelling with turtles
- Seeing all the big fish come to the surface
- Getting to see beaches and bays that you can’t get to via hiking!
- Free time to float and use stand up paddle boards
- Morning tea fruit and cakes on the beach
📸Make sure you bring a phone pocket or Go Pro to film underwater shots while you’re in the water!
🔗Comment “eco tour” and I’ll send you the booking link
Have you been snorkelling before? ☺️

A complete guide to Magnetic Island - where to sta

A complete guide to Magnetic Island - where to stay and how to get there! 🐚
Magnetic Island is the perfect place to escape if you’re looking for an unforgettable time away in nature - walks, wildlife, and beaches 🙌🏼
We stayed at @dachaonmaggie, a luxury oceanfront accommodation on Nelly Bay, where you can relax with beautiful sunrise views from your bedroom balcony or have a cheeky dip in the plunge pool! 🌅
Here’s how to get there:
1. From Townsville Airport, jump in a taxi or Uber and drive for 10 minutes to the ferry terminal 🚗
2. Book a return ticket and jump onto the SeaLink Ferry from the Breakwater Terminal to Magnetic Island or bring your car across with Magnetic Island ferries 🛳️
3. Set sail for a short and picturesque 20 minutes (look back at Townsville & Castle Hill behind you) to Nelly Bay on Magnetic Island 🏝️
4. @dachaonmaggie is only a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute bus ride (cost us $1 for 2 people) and then a 1-minute walk from the Nelly Bay ferry terminal.
5. Spend the next couple of days enjoying your accommodation, exploring Magnetic Island, spotting loads of rock wallabies and koalas, visiting secluded beaches, and hiking to see some incredible views! 🐨

Save these spots for your summer adventure list ☀️
With the weather heating up in Victoria over the coming weeks, it’s the perfect time to think about finding a fun spot to cool off on those warmer days… something a bit different to the pool or beach! 🩱🏊
Here are my top picks:
👉🏼Tronoh Dredge Hole, Harrietville (4 hours from Melbourne CBD)
👉🏼Cairns Bay, Flinders (1.5 hours from Melbourne CBD)
👉🏼Rollasons Falls, Mt Buffalo (4 hours from Melbourne CBD)
👉🏼 Briagolong Blue Pool, Briagolong (3 hours from Melbourne CBD)
👉🏼Mermaid Beach Rockpool, Mt Beauty (4 hours from Melbourne CBD)
👉🏼The Bluff Reserve, Buchan (4.5 hours from Melbourne CBD)
👉🏼Pretty Valley Creek Pools, Falls Creek (5 hours from Melbourne CBD)
👉🏼Braithwaite Beach, Eurobin (3.5 hours from Melbourne CBD)
Also cannot help it but most of these are in the high country because I love it so much there! Oh and bring a floaty for extra fun 🤭
What do you think, did I miss any? 🤔

Reflections from the Eagles Nest at sunrise - save

Reflections from the Eagles Nest at sunrise - save this spot for your next Gippsland adventure 🌅
Eagles Nest is located 10 minutes from Inverloch off Cape Paterson-Inverloch Rd and is best viewed at low tide, especially if you want to get close to it … even better at sunrise if you wanna get some epic reflections and sunlight bouncing off the rock 🤭
The first time I came here a few years ago I came in the middle of the day but this time was so much more special 🥹
👉🏼To check tide times for any coastal area in Victoria - type “*location* tide times” in google and I usually pick the WillyWeather website - absolute lifesaver!
Are you getting up for a 6am sunrise session or snoozing the alarm and going later? 🤔

Hire a houseboat on Lake Eildon & thank me later ✨🛥️
I’ve been lucky enough to stay on a houseboat on Lake Eildon on 3 occasions now and I can honestly say the magic never dies - it’s always such a special experience 🥹
Here are some of the things you can do:
☀️ Sun bake on the deck chairs while reading a book
🌅Wake up to beautiful sunrises over the lake and have a relaxing sunset spa
🚶 Dock the boat on the side of lake and go for a walk
🎣Fish off the back of the houseboat (we caught 3 fish)
🏊‍♂️ Go for a swim or explore on a stand up paddle board
👉🏼I’ve hired from both @lake_eildon_houseboats and @5riverseildon in the past but there are many houseboat providers to choose from!
If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments 👇🏻
📍Lake Eildon (2.5 hours from Melbourne CBD)
Who will you be hiring a houseboat with? 🤔
