Day 24

Magnetic Island 

Today we hired a very small "bomb" of a car to explore the island.  Unlimited kms up to 40 km without extra charge.  Petrol was included in the rental rate.  Insurance cost as much as the hire.  At least it had aircon.

Mission Beach Mission Beach, Wongaling and Mission Beach South are quite close to each other along the Cassowary Coast.  There are road signs at frequent intervals warning of possible cassowaries crossing. The terrain is quite flat, and the scenery sandy beaches, palm trees, rainforests, sugar cane fields and banana plantations. The boat ramp at Clump Point.
