My flight left Canberra at 6.35 am, changed planes in Brisbane, arrived at Townsville at 10.30 am, picked up by brother Steve and his Family, who were also holidaying in Northern Queensland, a short drive to the ferry terminal were my son, Sam was waiting to accompany us over to Magnetic Island.
At this point I thought that a map would be helpful to explaining where I have visited.
The Ferry docks at Nelly Bay, where we were met by Sam’s friend who made 2 trips to take all of us and our bags up to Horseshoe Bay where they live.
 The day was overcast and drizzling rain but not enough to dampen our spirits, actually it was lovely to see rain it is so long since it has rained in Canberra, and it did fine up so that we could head down to the beach…
We went to Bungalow Bay Backpackers, where my son works, for dinner and had a fun evening participating in there trivia night.
The bright red seaplane in this photo of Horseshoe Bay is The Red Baron, more about the Red Baron in a later post.

The image for the pink project is printed on a fabric sheet and to prepare it to stitch in the centre of the block I placed it right sides together with a piece of fine cotton with a layer of batting on the other side so that the image would be slightly padded…I stitched around the edge, clipped the corner and then put a diagonal cut in the cotton fabric to turn the image right side out…I can now just slip stitch it in place
