Magnetic Island

We stayed at the International hostel in Horseshoe Bay on Magnetic Island for 2 nights.
They have an animal park right on site and we spent the morning playing with the animals.

This bird takes sunflower seeds from your lips very gently with its tongue. I don't know if you can get some weird bird disease from it.

The Koala will sit wherever it is placed. Its not hugging me, they just stay where the handler places them.

View of Horseshoe Bay. We spent the afternoon here just walking in the sun.

The beach is the longest on the island.
We got up early and bussed over to Airlie Beach where we walked around a bit and shopped until supper time.
It is a larger beach town and most anything you might need is available here.
Tomorrow we spend the day sailing the Whitsunday Islands and see the second most famous beach in the world.
I am glad to have a day off from walking as my blisters are getting nasty. I wore those shoes all summer but with not so much walking as this.
It has been raining on and off today and just now it really poured. Susan is glad of a balcony to smoke on.
