We arrived in Townsville about 11.15 or so and went looking at spas. At the first shop, we noted the stock floor was empty and we were told they were all at the Home Expo at the showgrounds. So we went there, as everything we were hoping to look at was displaying there in one spot. How convenient! And lots of campers and gear as well..At about 2pm it started to rain so we headed for the accomodation we had booked on wotif.com. We were very happy with Seagulls Resort.
We went for a walk alongside the beach and then relaxed till dinner which we had in the resort's restaurant. The gardens and surroundings are lovely and at night lit with oil torches and fairy lights.
We had a very enjoyable meal as well. KISA had battered fish, chips and salad, and I had a seafood risotto. We started with sharing some spring rolls, washed down with a bottle of Merlot. Tres civilised!
"Someone" forgot the camera and we had to use KISA's phone camera so the quality is not up to the usual standard.
KISA found this bit of stuff at the bar. Apparently she is quite a fixture!
After a good nights sleep in a surprisingly comfy bed (you do take your chances in hotels sometimes) we took ourselves up to Castle Hill for a look around. Mackay doesn't have anything nearly this high. Quite giddy making really!
You will note the beard has been drastically trimmed. He was starting to look quite colonial!
Looking north, this was the only sunlight we saw all day. It pretty much rained the rest of the day once we got closer to home.
KISA on the westward side. Never realised what a big place Townsville was till you look at it from this perspective. Castle Hill appears to be one big pink granite rock!We headed home afterwards and arrived about 1ish. We had a lazy afternoon, listening to the rain on the roof!
