Day 29 - Doing The Forts Walk

After a short lie-in we made our way to the supermarket for lunch and tea supplies, also getting some more water for the walk we’d be going on later.

This was followed by sunbathing next to the pool, which turned into sunbathing in the pool due to the crazy hot weather we’re having.

We had a late lunch and then caught the bus to the start of The Forts Walk. This was a very scenic 2.8km round trip with lots of photo opportunities for Corrie. The walk was very hilly which didn’t go down well with us but the views definitely made up for this. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to spot any koalas out there but we did see a couple of wallabies. There’s lots of info about the history of the island and its part in helping defend Townsville during WW2; with lots of the buildings and gun mounts still standing.

After the walk we went back to the hostel to have a well-deserved ice-cream each (courtesy of the $10 Corrie found on the walk!) We then freshened up before going to make our cheapo meals in the camp kitchen.
