My husband Pete and I have lived on Magnetic Island for over four years after relocating from an off the grid property outside of Melbourne. I'm a practicing visual artist and Biofield Tuning practitioner. I'm a passionate gardener and have recently developed an interest in growing orchids. I enjoy my quiet time in the swimming pool or just sitting at the beach being mesmerized by the ocean and turtle/whale spotting. Pete enjoys being immersed in nature, going for long walks on the many tracks located in Horseshoe Bay such as Radical Bay, Forts Walk, Arthur Bay and Florence Bay. Pete is passionate about sailing, traveling the high seas, fishing and diving. We both enjoy traveling, meeting new people and building memories from our adventures together in foreign lands. We hope that when you arrive on Magnetic Island you are open to unwinding and letting go of the stress of a busy, modern life and simply breath and become one with the islands pace. As the locals say - it's island time, slow down and immerse yourself in the sunshine, sand and sea.
