Townsville

We arrived in Townsville on Tuesday we were here for seven nights waiting for a couple of parcels to arrive and spent the next few days waiting for tradesmen to do a couple of jobs on the van. Once that was done we were able to get out and about in Townsville. It is a beautiful city. The caravan park was green and quite. We had a few things we wanted to do. Magnetic island which will be in another blog. Castle Hill, Cowboys Leagues Club (we didn't see any players) and a couple of breweries (we seem to be on a pub crawl). Every where we go has great food. Loved going up to Castle Hill the views are magnificent. We tried a couple of markets (nothing like Darwin's). Bought some of the best produce from them. We visited many shopping centres. I can't believe how many there are. The population is slightly larger than Darwin's I think it is very well laid out. If it was cooler it could be a contender for the final destination.Read more
