NEW MAGNETIC ISLAND NEWS

Like Kansas City, just about everything is  up to date on  Magnetic Island. A former Papua New Guinea barge, extensively refurbished in Townsville,North Queensland,  and  named  Magnetic , above ,went  into  service over  the  holiday period. Our camera  captured  views of  the gleaming  vessel on a run , below  on the top deck  looking back to the island . 
In other island developments, Cafe Mia at Nelly Bay  is  undergoing  a refit and  paint  and will reopen  as  the  Curlew Café .  In  earlier years  it was  called Possums .    Recently opened at Arcadia  is  the gleaming  Tamarind Tea House , built  by Phil  Hamblyn ,  under and  around  century  old  Tamarind trees.
