Magnetic Island Australia

Magnetic Island is located in the state of Queensland, Australia. It is located 15 kilometers from the city of Townsville. The island has 23 beaches and 300 sunny days a year. Most of the island is occupied by the Magnetic Island National Park, which accounts for 27 km² of the island's total 52 km². Its name originated when, passing through it on its journey along the eastern coast of Australia in 1770, Captain James Cook noticed the alteration of the compass of his ship by an apparent "magnetic effect" of it. Since then, the origin of the event has been unsuccessfully investigated.
