Feel like making a lasting impact that's fully tax deductable?
For over 25 years Magnetic Island Nature Care has been buying island bushland for nature conservation.
Environmentally significant parcels of land have been acquired and maintained to support local native biodiversity.
'Not every cause I've supported has succeeded. But when I donated to MINCA I knew it was for something permanent. It's land that we can see being maintained and regenerated. You can't help but think, "Well, we really did that. And it's wonderful!"'

All capped off with drinks, pizza and paella.
