Well I am back in Townsville, another month here and then back to cold, cold New Zealand. It has cooled down here but still shirt and shorts weather. On the 18th of May to the 21st Tarsh and I will be heading to Brisbane to do a bit of sight seeing, visit the Gold Coast and generally relax in the sunshine state. Will be catching up with a few mates, Gavin and Rob and no doubt we'll hit the pubs hard whilst we are there. Should be great fun. . .
On the weekend I managed to get out of the hotel room and catch a 20 min ferry ride over to Magnetic Island (The island in my other photos of Townsville). Now Magentic Island is one of the most varied Great Barrier Reef Islands as two thrids of it is National Park and has around 2000 full time residents with plenty of hotel development happening. Great place with plenty to do, I managed to go on a three hour hike up to the ridge line of Mount Cook and relax in the National Park viewing Horseshoe Bay and surrounding areas. Whilst treking through the range I got my first glimpse of a (in the wild) Koala Bear. Pretty cool little animals. In all a good day but I will admit my feet were sore from the 6km walk. A few photos of Townsville and Magnetic Island and of course my first Koala Bear...
