were now on magnetic island after taking the bus down from cairns to mission beach where we stayed in a tree house which was incredible- right in the middle of the rain forest! today we rented bikes and cycled up to a bush walk where we saw a koala!! in the wild!! and we saw a brown snake- well peter nearly stepped on it and then would have died but fortunately were all still alive and heading to the beach for icecreams! jimmy is much apriciating sleeping in a chicken coup and being nibbled by a bitey bug!

finally we have managed to get our photos on line(or some of them!) so go to peters facebook page- if you dont have his facebook thingy were hopefully going to do them later on here!
