🇦🇺 Magnetic Island: A Lucky Day Spotting 3 Wild Koalas! 🐨
Getting to Magnetic Island Two ferry options: Sealink: Departs near CBD (opposite Greyhound stop). Magnetic Island Ferries: Allows car transport (I chose this – $36 round-trip, 35-40min ride). Island Transport Bus #250: $1 day pass (hourly service – don’t miss your return ferry!). Pro tip: Rent a car if short on time! My Itinerary 1️⃣ The Forts Walk (Koala spotting! 🐨) Saw 3 wild koalas napping in eucalyptus trees! 2️⃣ Florence Bay → Horseshoe Bay Hike Warning: Steep trails + endless stairs (3hrs with no snacks – pack food!). 3️⃣ Horseshoe Bay Beachside cafes + shops (finally ate!). 4️⃣ Ferry Rock Wallabies Found rock wallabies hiding in crevices! Go left at the port sign (not Mercure Hotel). Wallaby Bonus A local auntie tipped me: Opposite rocks = closer encounters (they’ll eat from your hand!). #TownsvilleTravel #MagneticIsland #WildKoalas #AustraliaAdventures
