Paradise - Magnetic Island, QLD
19 - 20 June 2019
Continuing the lap of Australia on Paradise – Our friends Peter and Vicki Junk joined us to Magnetic Island. They are locals, living in Townsville and Magnetic Island – what a life!Peter and I met when were on The Board of the Royal Australia Chemical Institute (RACI), he was El Presidente of Australia, and I was the NSW Branch President.It's great that our friendship continues beyond the association.
There is so much to see and do on Magnetic Island (Maggie as the locals call it), but we took the chilled out approach and hiked to see the Koalas in their natural habitat and then spent the rest of the time fishing, eating and drinking.
Peter caught his first legal fish ever, which was very exciting for all but especially Peter at 57 yo. Luckily the fish wasn't lost. It was great to have some fresh fish for dinner – thanks to Peter.
Then it was John's turn, that fish was way too active, and he decided to go out to sea!
