This is what I call relaxing in STYLE. Rob thought of the idea of going fishing this morning at Magnetic Island. So we both heartily agreed that a ferry ride to the island and a bit of a fish would be great.
Downstairs on the ferry, the cars were lined up ready for exiting on the island.
Robert enjoyed the ‘cool’ seats against his back, with only a minor twinge now and again.
We landed at Nellie Bay where there’s a pier that goes out about 300 metres. This is the view from the right.
This is the view from the left. As we looked down in to the water, there was large Gar fish swimming around in the clear blue water. I did see another type of fish, but I wasn’t sure what type.
This is the view of Townsville from the jetty.
It was a glorious day today.
This is one of my all time favourite things to do. Even if we ARE only feeding the fish.
At the end of the day, we headed for the local pub to have a drink with some chips. We spotted this bird and couldn’t quite figure out what it was. We did finally figure out that it was a Curlew.
Beautiful bird. It’s eyes are owl like and it’s colouring is similar to a bustard with stork like legs. It was quite a beautiful bird.
The bus showed up and we were hustled back to the marina to catch the last ferry. We also got to see the sun set over Townsville.
Maybe not quite as spectacular as Western Australia’s sunsets, but lovely, just the same.
We ended the day by having dinner at a Chinese restaurant close by Rob. Great Food!!! Rob raced home as Casey was on her way home tonight and we headed back to the caravan.
All in all, today was a wonderfully relaxing day. Thanks Rob,..that was a great idea you had.
