Townsville - Cairns (22nd July 2019)
After a few days of travel we arrived at an old favourite which is Horseshoe Bay at Magnetic Island. We again caught up with our old friends Oscar and Graciella on Zenitude who we will leave at this point but may catch them when we go south again. We always enjoy our time at Maggie and this was no exception. We explored some of the island on foot with walks past all the bays, Balding, Florence and Arthur and maybe a few more before picking up the bus at the Forts and also did the walk along the ridge from Horseshoe Bay to Nelly Bay where again we hopped on the bus for the trip home. The walks at Maggie are pretty much all up or all down but very scenic and picturesque. On the 6th July we headed off early to go into the Breakwater Marina in Townsville for a week to explore the local surrounds and more importantly attend a very significant iconic event - the V8 Supercars. We went on Saturday and were treated to a great day of motorsport fun. Mark feeling
