Visitors from far and wide have descended on Magnetic Island for Easter . Our Shipping Reporter photographed a Darwin identity pulling a face at him from a window on this packed ferry backing into the terminal pontoon. The island presented a picture of clouds, trimmed lawns , pirates , hot cross buns , bouncing wallabies, mixed birdlife , patched potholes , piles of pumice, sand, surf, somebody carrying a pet duck about the waterfront . Some smart residents said they would close their front gates , pull down the blinds and remain inside until the holidaymakers departed .
