“We met Jane and Malcolm on their arrival at our home in Brussels and shared a meal with them, enjoying a good bottle of Australian wine which they had brought. This was a nice moment. The took excellent care of our apartment during their stay. We spent a fortnight in Magnetic Island in September. Their home is very convenient and comfortable and enjoys an exceptional situation in front of the sea with a splendid, peaceful beach just meters away. September is very nice weather-wise, with pleasant temperatures mostly in the range 22 - 28 degrees, i.e. warm but not too warm. We particularly enjoyed all the moments spent on the nice terrace facing the sea in company of the two curlew birds "adopted" by Jane and Malcolm. We did not have a car but that really was not a problem to enjoy this superb island : combining some walking and the use of the buses was perfectly OK, given the relatively small size of the island. The beaches are wonderful, including Geoffrey beach just in front of the house for nice and peaceful walks, Alma Bay beach perfect for swimming ... and all the other beaches with a special mention for the amazing Balding Bay beach which you reach after a long but superb walk. All the advices and indications provided by Jane and Malcolm have been judicious. A special mention for the delicious pawpaws from the garden. To summarize : Magnetic Island really is a great place : it is quiet and relaxing, offers a superb nature with splendid walking tracks, beaches, landscapes and seascapes (with rock wallabies and koalas easy to see), and the house of Malcolm is pleasant and beautifully situated.”
