Magnetic Island continued

The highest point of the island still has old WW2 fortifications.
Lookouts, gun turrets, remnants of other practical habitation,
like mess buildings, workshops etc.

It would have been arduous hard work to build in the heat and
humidity, and the steep site, the concrete structures.

 Marvellous views from the peak.

 A sleeping resident, Koalas were relocated to the island a long time ago.

 A gun mount.

 We climbed on top of both forts.


 Looking out of the gun turret.

Figs grow prolifically here even attach to rocks.
