Left Magnetic Island and got back on the bus and then the ferry. Most of the bus was heading straight up to Cairns but I am stopping off in Mission Beach for a few days. Stopped off on the drive for a scenic walk to a lookout over the national park which was beautiful and you could see for miles! Arrived at the transit centre and had to wait for the shuttle bus so got some food in for the next three days. Checked in and went for a dip in the pool and read fo...

Short drive today. Managed to get a deal to take up over to Maggie Island for $44 with accomodation at Base which was good and much better than staying in Townsville for the night. Got on the ferry and then the bus with all of our luggage which was good fun! Beautiful island and the hostel was right on the beach. Sat by the pool most of the afternoon as it was soo hot. Saw Georgia again which was really nice as we got to suprise her. Good dinner in the bar ...

Disembarked at midday and actually quiet sad to leave. All sat and had an icecream in th...

I was really disappointed that they didn't even have a fish book on board so I couldn't look up the rest of what I saw. Then we went to another spot and went snorkelling with ...

Up early to get everything sorted and to check out. Had noodles for lunch. Headed down to the dock and checked in with the Tongarra crew. Saw Nikki again which was nice. Crew really lovely with 'Dad' and 'Binkie'. Sat and sunbathed and read my book in the afternoon. Met some really nice girls on the boat but got stuck with a lot of rude foreigners as well including some dreaded Germans! Dinner of fish and mash, really nice. Sat up drinking goon until lat...
