We have just arrived on Magnetic Island. I could feel the change in the weather. We are in the tropics definitely. To get to this island we first took a overnight train, then a coach, and then a ferry. The train was very interesting. Three people shared a room, and three beds folded down from the wall. The most interesting part was getting down from the top bunk. Once on the island, we took a bus tour. We got to see wild kangaroos! One of them had a Joey in its pouch! It was adorable. We are all looking forward to holding koalas tomorrow. Some of us are going horseback riding in the bush and on the beach Wednesday. It should be very exciting!
