The drive down to Townsville, along the Bruce Highway passes by, and we heck into Fran's guesthouse. Its a small city, on the beachside which is full of bars and restaurants. Very pleasant for a beer after a day at the beach. There seems to be a bit more money floating around here, top notch properties on the waterfront and stylish places to pass the night away.
After buzzing around the rest of the world spending a couple of days here and there, we've decided to slow down a bit in Australia, until we meet up with Nicky in Hervey Bay next week, so we're here to chill in Townsville for a few days, enjoying the views from the top of Castle Hill, the Maritime Museum and Magnetic Island's beaches. Less enjoyable though is the walk from the Magnetic ferry port to the beach.
Having mostly self-catered through Australia, we find an all you can eat Thai restaurant for Valentine's Supper and make good use of the BBQ on the beachfront before the heavens open and it rains like we have never seen before. Rivers of rain cascade through the streets, and the best we can do is shut ourselves up in Frans place and watch TV!
