This morning we first secured our next sleeping spot, at Airlie Beach. Then we took the bus to the hike on the other side of Magnetic Island. The path leads to an old WWII fort perched atop the cliffs. It's 27\u00b0C, the sun is hot, but there are trees along the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a half-hour walk, we got a koala tip from a couple who happened to be Dutch as well. After searching for 10 minutes in the forest, we spotted the charming animal. He was clearly in relaxation mode, but maybe it's just his normal behavior (koalas sleep 20 hours a day). It was wonderful to see him. He didn't seem to mind us, 3 meters up in the tree. Koalas eat eucalyptus, which grows abundantly here. Koala fact: he never drinks; he gets all his moisture from the leaves he eats. Isn't he a cutie? <\/p>\n\n\n
