Magnetic island is a small island just east of
Townsville in Queensland.
It is one of the few places in Australia where
Koalas are found in the wild.
It was so named because when Captain Cook sailed
past it his compass went haywire. ( any excuse for a new name)
We were extremely lucky to see one as they don't
come out much in the day.
I have a delightful video of this one having a poo
which proves that ( Koala) bears do shit in the
woods!!
