Maggie Island

Magnetic Island, well what can i say...perfect paradise. That place has definitely won me over but unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. It really was everything I hoped it would be and more. The jet skiing was scary as, a combination of speed on a little powered motor while knowing that just underneath you could be a box jellyfish or a shark. Suprisingly I was happier on the canoe, which is closer and easier for sharks to attack but the lack of speed meant i was going to fall off. And i got time to see sea turtles, which were just huge. Horse riding was great, met up with another backpacker, Charlotte and we went swimming on the horses in the sea (with stinger suits on mind). I caught my first fish!!! After god knows how long of trying, luck struck, after catching a grunter, three other fish followed, two butter fish and a flat head. All of them tasted great! So i'd survive if i was stuck on an island, so long as i have a rod and some bait. Met some great people and had an awesome time drinking beer under the stars every night. Back to Cairns tomorrow then fly back home.
