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.
