Next stop Magnetic Island

We pulled into Horseshoe Bay in the afternoon discovering a gorgeous cove with lush forest and giant boulders. We met up with some cruising friends, John and Eddie from Don Quixote and plans were made for a BBQ on the beach the following evening with Don Quixote and Bill and Cheryl from Just Magic.




As the weather was a little blowy, we decided to stay for a few days before going to the Palm Island group further North. We toured the island in the open air bus and survived the heat for a midday walk to the Forts, spotting Koalas in the trees along the way.

Three days later we left for Fantome Island where we over-nighted before heading on to the Eastern side of Hinchinbrook
