Home Hill

We stopped in Home Hill for a week. This was the place we chose to stay to see what happened to the Townsville lockdown. We couldn't have chosen better. The caravan park was green and right next to the pool, which we could swim in for free. We did not.
Ayr was about 10 min away across the Burdekin Bridge. (Great bridge.)
We investigated a couple of fishing spots recommended by the caravan park managers (who lived in Darwin for a time. It is amazing when you say you are from Darwin how many people say they have also lived in Darwin.)
We went fishing at Groper Creek and did some cast netting of the small jetty. Trying to get prawns for bait and to eat but we only managed bait. The holiday locals ( holiday there every year) were catching kilos some took pity on us and gave us some for bait.
We visited the market in Ayr. I love the market. Ayr is a very pretty town.
Home Hill is very small but still had an IGA and about 3 pubs.
We went to the diorama and saw the big cane cutters. It is a good spot to be based in.Leggi altro
