Tuesday 10th September - Bowen

A cool 13.5 last night and up to 24.7 today.

It's night time when I do these blogs and it's currently blowing a gale and the wind is cold. Clive is in his winter clothing including the beanie and I might get into mine too if it gets any colder.

We went for a drive around Bowen today into the CBD, the Marina and then also up to Flagstaff Hill Look Out and Interpretation Centre. From up here you can see the Whitsundays and the water is so lovely with all the different shades of blue happening. To get here was another steep hill and despite being told last night he was banned from doing this, he did. I think he just can't help himself sometimes. But there are beautiful views I have to say. The Interpretation Centre is all closed up and empty and looks like it hasn't been used for a long time. Maybe it was damaged in the last cyclone and they haven't got around to repairing it yet, but it's a pity as there are lots of signs around Bowen directing tourists to it.

Maryborough has it's heritage building walk while Bowen has done a similar thing with Murals. They had a walk/drive which covers 28 of these. We saw a few of them and I took some pictures.

Pizza Hut for dinner tonight as it's a two for the price of one, so a meat lovers and a super supreme pizza only cost us $12.95. There's enough left overs for another six meals for me. Yum!
