We spent a night in Airlie Beach before heading up the coast to Townsville to catch the ferry across toMagnetic Island.
The weather was pretty good so we spent a few days relaxing on the beach at Alma and Horseshoe Bays and doing a little snorkeling in Alma Bay.
We had heard that Magnetic Island was a good place to see Koalas so Nicki, Cress and myself went for a walk to see if we could spot one. We took the track towards the 'Forts' and after some great views down over one of the bays we met a guy who had just seen a Koala and took us to show us where it was.
After a few photos of a particularly sleepy looking Koala we returned to a fantastic home cooked meal, courtesy of Tiffany, and a movie before a good nights sleep to prepare for our trip up to Cairns.
