We went to Magnetic Island on a beautifully sunny Saturday. This little island just across the bay from Townsville is lovingly nicknamed Maggie by the locals, and about 2000 people are resident there. It's famous for its secluded beaches and bays, but we didn't get to any of them as we were in the car. We had debated the idea of going on a reef trip but thought it might be too much for 93 year old grandma - it was great as she enjoyed the island as much as we did, and also had a nap halfway through!

Rock wallabies at Geoffrey Bay - these were a little bit afraid

Dad accidentally bought these croissants that had to be baked first. Never mind, they were perfect after 10min in the sun.

I had a strong feeling that I would return to Maggie - maybe later on in the year when I'm doing the other subject. I'd love to stay for the weekend and go explore all the walking trails to the secret beaches!
I've never been there but it looks very tranquil! :D
