GILLIGAN’S ISLAND DISCOVERED OFF NORTH QUEENSLAND


 A message found in a bottle washed ashore indicates  that   Magnetic Island , off Townsville , now has  a new cafe and bar  called Gilligan’s, which  features  furniture made  from bamboo  as  in  the  TV series. There is even the lifebuoy of the S.S. Minnow upon which  Gilligan and buddies  sailed  before they were shipwrecked  .  Scattered  about the premises , in Arcadia,  are framed photographs  of  the stars and scenes from the  popular  show . Staff  wear   Gilligan - type, white  gob hats.
