    What an incredible tour with Tim who I later found out is a Netflix personality in Izzy’s Koala World. He is a dynamic speaker and gave us an insight into the history and life on Magnetic Island. One of the many highlights on this trip was his campground including a self sustained Izzy’s kitchen and outdoor bathtub surrounded by nature all around. I also loved and enjoyed feeding the koalas being nursed by his wife the veterinarian at the koala hospital. Of course, the many beaches and animals with fantastic vistas were breathtaking. If you are on a cruise ship and only have one day in Townsville, it’s so worth it to grab a SeaLink ferry and head over to Magnetic Island for this tour.
