Thursday 19th September - Townsville
Still dry warm sunny weather with 13.9 overnight and up to 32.4 during the day. Clive updated the blog finally and then we went for a drive around the outer suburbs of Townsville. This included going out to Pallarenda Point and here they have an old Quarantine Station. The old buildings that are here are heritage listed and areas of bush are being restored. From here it was back down the coast to Jezzine Barracks. This is the old army barracks and again this area is open to the public. There is a Military Museum here too. This then led to The Strand - which is comparable to Surfers Paradise. Very commercial and a bit on the yuppy side. Following the coast road, we then went to the Casino and Convention Centre area. They have a big marina here and some of the boats look expensive. Clive then put in the address of the van park and Jeeves guided us safely back home.
