ADAM AND EVE AND HIKERS BEWARE / SUNBIRD IN DOCK / DEVILISH SCOMO

 Increasing  numbers of athletic  visitors , including  backpackers , have  been spotted  lately  perambulating  about   Magnetic Island , which looks lush and green  like  the Garden of  Eden  because  of  the   rain  and   massive  cloud  formations  forming  an  attractive  backdrop .

However, the  Good Book tells us  there  are   serpents  in  paradise.   In fact, there  appears to be a number of stray snakes  on the island . Five  snake calls  were  made  in  recent  weeks .

One  was  for  a  death adder  near the  Arcadia Hotel  which  boasts  cane  toad races. It was a skinny looking  serpent and may  have  been  attracted by  the  scent of  galloping  cane  toads.

It was  scooped up, carried away in a box and released in the high country , so  mountain climbers  be  on  the  look out .

 Our Shipping Reporter  says  the island ferry Sunbird  is  undergoing what appears to be  open  heart surgery (not picked up by the mainland media ) after  mechanical trouble,  a  vital replacement  organ  coming  from Germany.

Mild mannered Melbourne political commentator  Pete  Steedman ,a certainty  to be a regular  on  the  heavenly  ABC Radio National   God Forbid show,  because of  his  vast knowledge of  the   Bible, has  forwarded  a  fire and  brimstone  illustrated  sermon  on  ScoMo, exposing   the   old   loaves and  the  fishes  scam  over  the Murray-Darling  environmental   disaster and the fancy footwork in the wilderness before the last election  which  would  have  bought   a  swag  of   gold  medals at  the  Berlin Olympics .
