Townsville

This morming we headed off to Townsville. Sights to see, included Castle Hill for a good vantage point over the city. We parked the car and crossed the road, to be faced with pretty steep steps. There were plenty of seats to rest along the route, (thank goodness), but still an awful lot of steps. Someone had numbered the last couple of hundred following the last seat...456 - so we could count down to the top. We passed an Echidina hiding by the side of one step. Frankie was the worry there, but he didn't bother it.
It was all worth it, when we saw the great view we had. Needless to say, the walk back via the road, was much easier. Then we went to the strand, and had fish and chips to give us back some energy. That evening, because we couldn't get TV reception at Crystal Creek, we watched episodes of the White House on DVD. accompanied by snags in bread. Too big a lunch in town! Also phoned Stephen, incase I didn't have internet for Tillies birthday tomorrow.Read more
