Koala
We went for the hike on Magnetic Island that we had hoped to. We even saw a Koala at very close range. We reached the top of a rise and we looking out over the other side of the island and I said to Luci, “I think this would be a good place to spot Koalas’. As we turned to our right, we saw one sitting up in the crook of a small tree right next to us. He didn’t seem the least bit concerned with our presence. As I went for my camera, I discovered, to my dismay, that I forgot to put the memory card back in it after editing pictures the day before. So we have no pictures of our walk. A little father down the trail we saw what I think was a wallaby; a small kangaroo-looking thing.
We are back in Townsville running errands before our charter begins. We are trying to decide whether to take the bus or rent a car to drive the 4 hours south. I am also trying to decide whether to buy a didgeridoo and tote it around with us for the rest of out trip.
