At last, a proper Delvy adventure! This time off to Magnetic
Island, 8 kilometres east of the city of Townsville in north Queensland. After
an intense year of getting things back in order from Cyclone Debbie, it was a
wonderful feeling to be going on a holiday, together, and to discover new
places.
First stop, the Big
4 Walkabout Palms in Townsville to rendezvous with friends for dinner, who
dropped in on their way back to Rollingstone, a 30 minute drive to the north. A
pity the BBQ didn’t work but we made good use of the electric frying pan instead,
which was supplied in the camp kitchen.
The next morning, we left in good time to get to the Fantasea Cruising Magnetic
terminal on Ross Street. It’s rare to see a 7-metre motorhome on the vehicular
ferry but as we both work for the parent company in the Whitsundays we were
given some special treatment. Lucky us!
