Magnetic Island rock wallabies, or more specifically – Allied Rock Wallabies, live in the rocky terrain and dense vegetation of the Island. Their subtle colouring camouflages these animals, making them difficult to see among the rocks.

Allied rock wallabies move quickly and surely around their rocky habitat, helped by short toenails on their hind feet. To find these tiny creatures, travel to the far end of Geoffrey Bay and turn into the old Arcadia Jetty Road (across from Arcadia Village). Look for them feeding in the early morning and late afternoon.

The snorkel trail near Arcadia Village and Pleasure Divers on Magnetic Island is a fascinating underwater journey marked by four numbered surface floats. It starts with abundant sargassum and funnel weed, offering refuge to various species, then leads to vital coral reef builders like Staghorn, Cauliflower, and Brain coral at the second float. Heading towards the third marker, you'll encounter unique omnivorous Lettuce corals and vibrant fish species.

Notably, the second and third floats house impressive 37-year-old Giant Clams cultivated by Dr. Rick Braley. As you continue, you'll discover more corals, the 1890 Moltke wreck, and remnants of a WWII aeroplane for experienced swimmers. This trail offers a captivating blend of marine life and historical artifacts.
