Have had a couple of lovely days dining with Stu and his beautiful children out at Bushie Beach Tavern and then Daryl and Amanda and children at home last night. They lead a very busy life with all their work, sports and dancing commitments amongst other happenings at the moment so were lucky to see them. Would you believe Daryl was watching the same Grand Final last Saturday morning that we were and stood on the same sideline and watched the presentations after the game and none of us saw each other!!!!! SO Annoyed we did not see each other.

Woke to an overcast day to journey overseas to Magnetic island for the day. By the time we arrived at the jetty at Nelly Bay the sun was shining so hopped on the bus immediately to travel over to Horseshoe Bay over the opposite side of the island. Walked the Esplanade to decide where to eat for lunch then sat under the shade of the palm trees fronting the beach overlooking the calm water.

Later we caught the bus back to Picnic Bay Jetty where I remember when back in 1994 the Masters Netball Team that I played a tournament up here in Townsville came over for a visit and we got off the ferry here at this jetty. The whole village is now much quieter than I remembered it but the banyo trees are still here where I took photos of all the girls around them so had to get one pic of myself under them this time.

| Talking to this lady in this shot, she remembers back 30 years ago arriving on the ferry here also. |

Look - there's Neemo with all the other beautiful coloured fish in this aquarium at the Picnic Bay Hotel where we sat and waited for the next bus to take us back to the jetty to come back to the mainland.

A great island to explore for a couple of days I reckon. Pity we only had the one day over there.
