Townsville

Have to say we had no idea Townsville was so huge - very spread out and due to needing to purchase a few van items we certainly did a number of tours of the industrial areas…seems every block had a massive homemaker centre on it!

Our night pics were taken after a lovely seafood dinner as we walked it off along the beachfront!
