MOON MAD MONK OF MAGNETIC

A couple driving home at  night on Magnetic Island  turned a  corner into  their usually quiet street  of  residence  and  were greeted  by a strange , scary apparition . There  in the  headlights , standing on the road , was  a  barefooted man, in  a dark  coat , genuflecting at  the sky . A mad monk ? Perhaps the high priest of a new cult which would cause real estate  values  to plummet  ?  It turned out to be a  weird neighbour , in a dressing  gown , taking photographs of  the Moon,  in a cloudy  sky , not only  frightening  motorists but strolling  nocturnal Curlews as well .  Blame the ABC  and  its  beaut recent  Stargazing  Live  television  series  for  this  disturbance  of  the  tropical night .
