Whilst in
Townsville, we headed over to Magnetic Island for the day. It’s a short 20minute ferry ride, and we decided
to leave the car behind and hire a cute little ‘topless car’ over there.
We had a
lovely and low-key day pottering around the little island. There are a number
of gorgeous beaches and great swimming and snorkelling. Sadly we forgot to pack
our snorkels, but the swimming was still wonderful.
There is a
koala sanctuary at a YHA there, but I stuffed up reading the brochure. It
clearly mentions the 3 tour times, but I figured we would just wander around at
our own pace. Sadly, that’s not possible and we arrived too
late to join the tour. Angus was MOST disappointed and I felt like the worst
Mum ever. Luckily there was a bird feeding right after the tour we missed, so
we hung around lazing on the lounges at the bar while we waited. Those parrots
were ravenous! I’m sure they don’t eat all day and just pig out at feeding time.
We had a
ball cruising around in the little car and recommend it as a great day out.
Just remember to bring your snorkel gear…
