Magnetic Island

Magnetic Island is our first tropical Island that we have been on. It is beautiful but really sleepy with hardly any shops and places to eat.


The first night we arrived we saw toad racing where locals and tourists bet up to $50 on toads to race each other. Crazy but loads of fun!

The man running it was a character. We have spent our time here doing bush walks (we got to see a baby koala) and sea kayaking. We have also been battling with some annoying Irish culchies from our dorm. We hate them! Lets hope we get some sleep on the Whitsundays boat. We doubt it!

Toad racing eh? Something like that could catch on here, if only we could think of something to race. Possibly snails, but the circle would have to be a lot smaller.
Magnetic Island looked great, apart from the naked Aussies. Dougall seemed quite shocked. There's one of David from the waist up which leaves it open to question as to whether he joined the bare all brigade. I'm hoping that he did!!

Great colours in the sunset photos! That Paris Hilton lookie likie has turned up twice now -- keep an eye on David Christine, and don't take any notice of the back seat (kayak) driver.
