Day 79: Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island

Time for a bit of exploration. Got the bus to Nelly Bay. That's the main settlement on the island, is where the ferry terminal is, and has a supermarket and the post office.

Busses are cheap and regular. We checked out the ferry terminal for tourist info and then retraced our steps from the last time we were here - to the berth where we first saw Red October. After that walk down memory lane, we checked the post office and then had lunch in a cafe that tried very hard to be quirky at the expense of good food. Can't win them all.

The berth where we first saw Red October.

Did a shop in IGA. We will be here for a few weeks so a full provision wasn't necessary. It's a good size and we'll be able to get most stuff here.

IGA, Nelly Bay.
After that, back on the bus for a swim off the beach and a barbie-cooked roast lamb.
