We’re staying for a few days on the island paradise
of Magnetic Island, a short ferry ride off Townsville. The weather is remaining very hot but just within tolerance.
Most notable thing about the island are the flies. There are mutant mosquito-like flies here that are about 5 times normal size and doubly interested in sucking our blood. We’ve been told that every person has to kill at least 20 of these buggers every day. That’s a war!
We’ve also done a couple of shore dives in Alma Bay. Most enjoyable - unchallenging and relaxing so an opportunity to put some of our new skills to the test. Liberta seems to have a talent for spotting things; she pointed out three bright white (but small) nudibranchs on the last dive. She also admirably navigated underwater although we did cheat and pop up to the surface for cross-checking. No cheating next time!!
