I had such an amazing weekend this weekend on Magnetic Island with the Red Frogs and Calvary Church. Okay so don't think typical church retreat in cabins with frozen food- I'm talking 5-star resort on a tropical island! Our speaker for the weekend was Matt Fielder from Planetshakers church in Melbourne- he was seriously the funniest pastor I have ever heard, he just said it like it was. Then on Friday afternoon my friends Jessica, Lindsay and I got to hang out with some of the guys we had met at church and hired (notice they don't say rent) a 4wd and toured around the island. Was the cyclone a problem? NO we swam in it! haha so there was a cyclone that hit Queensland between Saturday and Sunday but that didn't stop us from swimming in Alma Bay, a place they actually don't have stinger nets. Then we took this bush track out to West Point, a bay at the far tip in the middle of a nature preserve. At West Point there was all this conglomerate beach rock in the sand and Jess and I got all nerdy excited because we had just learned about it in our geomorphology class. On the way back to the resort we stopped at Cockle Bay (the best part was for sure the name). We had another great evening session then we had a cyclone dance party. All in all the cyclone definitely ended up being anti-climatic because when we woke up there wasn't even a ripple in the sea.
