Location: Magnetic Island
After getting completely soaked for the last week in Cairn's we finally made our first advance down the coast to Magnetic Island. We were rather concerned by the overcast skies when we were arriving but after a very loud night ( more about our night beast guest later) we quickly took advantage of the blue skies and parked ourselves on the beach. I obviously did a far better job of applying my sunscreen than Madison did as I am still as white as ever and she is a ravishing shade of tomato red.
Magnetic Island is about a 20 minute ferry ride from the city of Townsville which is the most northern part of Australia that I had reached on my last trip. We spent most of the day witnessing Madison's ripening skin and devouring books in the hammocks by the pool, we also caught a beautiful sunset down at the beach. We have both decided that LIFE IS GOOD!
Favorite moments of the day:
Madison- Coming out of the dungeon like internet room this morning and seeing sunshine!
Sara- Spending time on the beach for the first time this trip and hammocking!

Madison's Entry
Today we woke up to more glorious sun!! Which would have excited me more if I didn't have to wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt cause of my ridiculous burn! I never learn! Today we hit the animal jackpot though! We went on the koala bush walk and we got to hold a crocodile, a black cockatoo, a lizard a koala bear and a python! It was so exciting!! There was also a very cute and friendly wallaby who jumped around the whole time and followed us. We also licked the back of these green ants that tasted like lime, it was very interesting.
