Magnetic Island - The wallabies of Geoffrey Bay

Coming into dusk you can see many of these sweet small wallabies
at Geoffrey Bay.

The very diminutive rock wallabies are only maybe a quarter of the
size of the large Black Tailed Swamp Wallabies we have at home.

They approached down from the tumble of granite rocks along the
shoreline. People visit with carrots to feed them, and get a very close
encounter.

 They silently and effortlessly leap down these huge rounded granite outcrops. 


 
 These perched rocks form an arch and are high enough to walk through.







  These baby pines are growing through cracks in the rock. Pines and figs seem 
to be two of the most prevalent species growing on the island.
