On a visit to Magnetic Island , a Darwin man , whose identity shall not be revealed for obvious reasons, was shown the wonders of the place by our hospitable Shipping Reporter . Readers of this blog know Magnetic Island is frequently described as Townsville's jewel in the crown .
One of the island gems is undoubtedly Nelly's Groyne , below, in Nelly Bay , a trial structure built to stop the harbour from being silted up , in which the Darwinite was most interested
As the Top End visitor, a man of many, many letters , was about to leave the island by ferry , with a leer, waved to the waterfront roundsman from the stern , hollered : "Check out Nelly's Groyne , on the way back !"
A few people within cooee looked askance upon hearing this seemingly lewd instruction - Nelly's groin !!!!
Anyway, a lot of sand and marine growth has accumulated on Nelly's slippery vital feature since the Territorian shouted his uncouth , double entendre .
So the Shipping Reporter decided to check out Nelly's groyne , run his camera over her profile and came up with an unexpected series , some of which are run here .
