Today's plan was to check out different parts of the island slowly as we did a quick check yesterday. First, we had breakfast with the koala at the Wild Life Koolah cafe. We were the first one to show up so the waitress gave us very good seating next to the koala. This koala is named Oprah after the famous TV host who visited the island many years ago. There are many different kinds of koala and the one in this region are smaller than the ones in Sydney. They eat the leaves of the eucalypt tree and sleep up to 20 hours a day.








After taking tons of pictures with Oprah, we left to go on a hike at Passage Peak which is the highest point in the island. It was a challenging hike up but unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, so the view was blocked with fog. The weather has not been sunny since we came, and we had some light showers throughout our stay. The average temperature is around low 70s. We talked to the locals and they mentioned that usually July is a good time to visit but not this time. So, they suggest August as another great time to visit Great Barrier Reef.













After our hike, we went to check out the All Saints Chapel before going to the marina for lunch.










We see a lot of cookatoos in the island and they love to come and eat our food, so we have to be careful eating outside.

After lunch, we decided to go to One Tree Hill for some drinks as we heard that they have one of the best views in the island.


 






After our drinks, we went back to the Catseye beach to spend some time there before heading back to the marina for dinner. We went back to our room after dinner as tomorrow will be a long day.
