Enjoy your walk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Magnetic Island has turned out to be a place that we have really enjoyed.\u00a0 The marina is quiet and inexpensive with an excellent restaurant and an IGA supermarket next door.\u00a0 By staying three days in the marina (which is small and practically empty), we received a $50 coupon for dinner at the restaurant and a $25 coupon for wine with dinner.\u00a0 The meal we ordered was delicious and elegantly served, and so was the wine.\u00a0 With the coupon the meal was practically free.<\/p>\n

There are great walks on the island, and a bus to take you to trail heads.\u00a0 There is also wildlife to be seen — rock wallabies live on the breakwater, koalas in the trees (see photo below), and death adders, one of the most poisonous snakes in the world, crawl in the bush. There are beautiful and strange bird calls day and night even in the marina, and flocks of parrots fly from tree to tree.\u00a0 — M.<\/p>\n
