With Magnetic Island promoted as Townsville's jewel in the crown , it seems that some of the gems worn there get lost , as the above public notice board sign indicates . Items recovered with metal detectors include watches , telephones , rings , jewellery
The following photograph is not part of a search for sunken crown jewels , part of a Spanish treasure trove , it is channel dredging in Cleveland Bay , near the island .
In other news , an island tropical garden gem , the Tamarind Cafe , at Arcadia , a teahouse and wedding venue , has just ceased trading . There is talk that it could be converted into accommodation of some kind.
