Maggie Island!

Geoffry Bay
Did you know?
The name of the island came about because of the apparent "magnetic" effect it had on the ship's compass of Captain Cook as he passed the island when sailing up the east coast of Australia in 1770. People have since explored the general area of Magnetic Island with various instruments to discover what might have caused the effect that Cook reported, but nothing has been discovered. It's a mystery!

Went to dinner at a restaurant called Man Friday  and made some stinky friends!  These possums were very keen on tortilla chips... 
                   yum yum in my tum!                          shooters? give me a chip!

                              now i'm happy!                      possum on the menu (literally)


Hanging out for the day on Horseshoe Bay!  So gorgeous, we went sailing on a Hobie Catamaran!

lovely day on the bay
