Today we left the island a little later, around 10, and headed to the Magnetic Island National park. The most exciting thing about this forest is that koalas live in the wild! Part of the park is a mountain, which is where we hiked to find koalas and to see the coast. During our hike, we found three koalas sitting in trees, which was really cool to see. During our hike, we learned that this entire mountain was used as a base during World War II, and we actually saw some old buildings and shelters that were once used. Once we got to the top, it was really cool to see the water because it was a turquoise blue color, and was really clear. There were also a lot of sailboats in the water, which was also very cool to see. After our hike, we set off for Airlie Beach, where we would be staying. During our drive, we drove through some area that was hit by a cyclone a few months ago, and there was still a lot of evidence of destruction throughout the area. There were houses that were completely destroyed and they still were not cleaned up. Roger told us that the cyclone did a lot of damage to a few cities around the area and there was a lot of flooding for a while after the cyclone.
