Trivia/Background:
Unlike previous muti-part videos, both of these parts took place on the same day.
It was a pretty busy day.
The second part doesn’t seem to have been as widely viewed as the first - but I think the fame of Radical Bay Road led to a lot more search hits for the first part.
Part 1 was identified as “Part 1” in the title - but this one reads “Pt 2” due to the title lengths being excessively long…

Description:
The adventure continues further from Part 1 - having successfully made it back from Radical Bay “Road” having broken only one thing on the car, we decide to take the island’s other 4WD track out to (almost) the westernmost point of the island.
Then we go and do the Forts Walk, which takes you around some World War II infrastructure, back from when Magnetic Island was used for a gun emplacement to defend the military base in Townsville from naval attack.
The weather was not on our side for that, so we headed up to Horseshoe Bay for a swim.
After it hit low tide, we headed out to Cockle Bay to see, and hopefully reach, the SS City of Adelaide shipwreck - but the tide wasn’t low enough to remove the threat of nasty marine stingers, so we went and got something to eat and took it to Picnic Bay.
After that, we went back to Horseshoe Bay for another swim to kill a bit of time before taking the last ferry back to Townsville.
