From Surfers Paradise to Magnetic Island








Our trip is coming to an end. We have travelled all the way up to Townsville and Magnetic Island, which is our second last stop before we fly back to Melbourne from Cairns. After staying an extra night in Surfers, we decided to travel all the way up to Magnetic Island without stopping anywhere, to make up for that extra night. We were dreading the 26 hour (!) bus trip (we could have gotten to Sweden in less time!) but we managed to both get over 12 hours sleep. A certain magic cookie may have helped.. but still.! After going out three nights in a row in Surfers paradise we were quite happy to get to Magnetic Island, a quiet little island with just animals and beaches, and not at all as many tourists as we've become used to in the last couple of weeks. We spent all of today soaking up the sun at the beach and by the pool at our hostel. We are staying in a little wild life park, so tomorrow we're planning on taking the tour and holding a koala, salt water crocodile, wombat and snake! I'm running out of time as theyre sucking the last pennies out of me at this expensive internet cafe, but i'll write more next time!
