The Waterfall on The Strand
Townsville!!!!!!-now what can I say about Townsville. It is a very big city with lots of shopping centres. I managed to escape for a day with some other ladies for some much needed retail therapy. Townsville is surrounded by mountains and it even has a hill right smack in the middle of town called Castle Hill, lots of joggers and walkers climb it everyday. It is about 3,000ft high. Along the foreshore is a lovely area called The Strand with a lovely walkway and lots of water activities for families. We have been here just over a week, and are camped on private property with about 7 other motorhomers.

Every evening around 4 o'clock we gather around for happy hour followed by Camp oven cooking and BBq's and lots of camaraderie. We are all up early and walk around the property some are faster than others.

Lovely to journey a little further with you both! It's been a long time since I've been to Townsville - never did like it much, but of course it would have changed a lot over the years! My aunt and uncle lived there for many years at Hermit Park - I remember the Ross River flooding and having all sorts of animals in the house - even the chooks! As the waters subsided I saw the biggest, ungliest toads in the world, lol!
I'm so happy for you that you have had such lovely company along the way!
