Whitsundays to Magnetic Island



We sailed from Airlie to Magnetic Island, stopping overnight at Gloucester Passage and Upstart Bay

I used to think Queensland was all about pineapples and sugar cane. Our previous visits were mostly by road and usually ended around the Sunshine Coast somewhere. Visiting Queensland by sea you see a while new side to Queensland and its all about mining.
