"Hot Coconuts" camp
The biggest event in 5th Brighton's history happened in 2002 - our spring fling in Magnetic Island!!

Magnetic Island is a mainland island off Townsville, QLD. It has over 20 beautiful beaches and bays, and is mostly National Park.

19 girls from our unit (including some ranger guides) and 4 girls from nearby Highett  Guides flew all the way from Melbourne to Townsville, then boarded a ferry for a week in the sun!

It was a lot of preparation and fundraising, but SO much fun--we will never forget it!

Here are some of our photos--enjoy!

It all began on the 22nd September 2002, when 28 intrepid explorers boarded a Virgin Blue  flight to Townsville...

Here we are at the 'chunky check-in' area--"how appropriate for our leaders" one girl remarks…

 

 
(Our special uniform was designed by the girls--a white T-shirt reading "Chicks on Camp", and you'll see the matching sarongs when we get there.)
By sunset we were on the ferry across to Magnetic Island...

 

Below are some photos I didn't know where else to put ;)
