Magnetic Island 31 July - 03 August 2006
The best way to get around Magnetic Island is by Moke. These are tremendous fun to drive and reminded me very much of my old VW Polo (Clutch that you need to stand on, gear lever like a tractor etc...). We hired one on our second day there and that enabled us to see far more of the island than we would have had we been on foot. Our first trip was to Florence Bay where we were promised some pretty good snorkelling. It was on the walk from the carpark down to the bay that I encountered my first snake in the wild!. The snake was aware of me before I was aware of him and was hastily making his retreat when I spotted him in the bushes by the road. I'm not sure who retreated faster though, as I nearly climbed backwards over Andrew in an attempt to 'escape'. 
The snorkelling here was good - but it certainly didn't beat Luncheon Bay in the Whitsundays.
Plenty of wildlife at our camp on Magnetic Island!

Hey!
I never made it up the gold coast - hung out on the west coast in perth for most of my time over there.
Looks like you're having a blast... and the good weather hasn't even started yet!
I'll send you on a link to my flickr account - uploaded all my photos. Have the ones from the barbeque in Christchurch as well.
All the best,
Liv
I really enjoy keeping up with your doings Marian. I looks like a great holiday you an Andrew had. Your photos are wonderful. I wonder how the work is going in Sydney? I'm looking forward to seeing you again in Rarotonga. From the other Marion!
