Fascinating How Some People Make Their Fortunes Just From Doing Simple Stuff Isn’t It?

So, what have you been up to since we last ‘spoke’ here on Medium.com? Anything exciting?

Here on the island we had some quite unusual visitors not too long ago.

A Bentley Owners Club was travelling round Australia and decided to make Magnetic Island one of their stops.

There were some absolutely incredible cars, with pretty much all of them worth a small fortune and one that was said to be worth literally millions of dollars, because it won some famous race in the 1930’s or something.

Anyway, you could buy a really nice house for less than what some of these little beauties cost.

These folks came from all over the world and shipped their cars to Australia especially for this event.

Not sure I would have risked bringing a classic Bentley over on the car ferry to the island, but they all seemed to survive the journey without a scratch. All 50 of them!

They traveled over in groups of about 7 or 8 at a time.
