So my next venture took me across the waters from Townsville to a little island which goes by the name of Magnetic Island. I packed my bags up and put them in storage, as I was camping on Magnetic Island I thought it would be wise to only take the essentials and save on the unneeded lugging of bags. I made the short trip across on the ferry and then caught the bus to the hostel. I set up my camp and then made my way to the local supermarket to get a drink and ...

The first two days were the horrendous job of digging I've discussed in previous blogs, then one day han...
