DON'T GET STONED IN PARADISE

While  actual hand shaking with locals  will  be out , a welcoming hand is being extended  to Townsville residents to  visit nearby Magnetic Island  under the new relaxed movement  conditions  that   come into play  from midnight  Friday . To mark the easing of restrictions  , the Townsville Bulletin  ran  a list of  50 things  to do within a 50 kilometre radius  of the city- a visit to Magnetic Island #1 .  Number  40  is the wreck of the SS City of  Adelaide  which ran aground in l916 on Magnetic Island , the paper saying it is accessible at  low tide  . A vital bit  of information not provided  for anyone  wanting to inspect the wreck  is  that  it is a  well known  venomous  stonefish area, so don't  go  walking  about  barefooted in the shallows .
Island  in the  sun - Magnetic .
