Townsville Inns - Reviews and Rates

Went to the Museum of queensland today. The main exhibition is all about the sinking and recovery of the Pandora. It even includes a demonstaration of loading and firing of a canon was interesting but a bit of a disappointment in the end (the canon that is). There didn't seem to be a huge amount of usual museum stuff but what was there I found p...

Well we dropped mum and dad off at the airport today. It had been great having them here but I'm sure they will be looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight not on an air mattress and not interupted by Denzel screaming way too early in the morning and having to go trekking across the countryside just to go to the toilet. Hope they have a sa...

Caught a Greyhound coach yesterday heading south down the Queensland coast. Its about 700 kilometres, but with stops etc it is about 6 hours. Greyhound coaches are much better than in the USA I am pleased to say. Have got a Travel Pass which will let me jump on and off Greyhound Coaches along the East coast of Oz from Cairns to Sydney ( which is...

One of my longtime friends from elementary school, Rachel (who we actually met up with in New Zealand at a rave, if you remember) has an aunt and uncle in Townsville who she told us we absolutely had to call and stay with. Not wanting to impose ourselves on anyone, we were hesitant to call, but I finally worked up the courage and dialed Uncle Wi...

Townsville Railroad Station has very little in the way to direct you toward the town center, so we began walking, all burdened down and starving, in the direction that a road sign seemed to point. After a kilometer, we squeezed our packs inside a cafe and found out that we were walking out of town, not into it. We also noticed that this place ma...

We stayed at a different caravan park this time.... one with a gate and at least a fence.... needless to say, nothing was stolen this time - ha ha. PS - Happy Birthday Katy x

My birthday was on a Saturday this year which was awesome until I found out that I'd be starting a field trip early the next morning. Bah. So we had to celebrate Friday. Most of us didn't have class on Friday so a few of us went down to the beach early to start our tan. By dinner time everyone was there... the Germans, my roomies, and some other...

Richard There's not much to be said about coming back to Townsville apart from the fact that I can now add Spanish Mackerel to the list (two is a list isn't it?) of fish that I can't eat. For some reason tuna does not agree with me anymore (I used to be able to eat it quite happily) and I steer clear of it. However, it was only after I'd eaten t...

May 2nd thru 5th... Although relatively uneventful, it's definitely worth noting...if nothing else, for a map pin to keep everyone entertained? After the goodbyes in Airlie Beach we set off for Magnetic Island with yet another cool bus driver, Emma. Pretty good drive, including watching Dodgeball, before heading to Magnetic Island via Ferry. Upo...

Back to CVA work again! Really nice house in Townsville, plenty of room and just 5 minutes walk to the beach. Everyone English again for the first week which was a 4 day week cos of a bank holiday and it was a good job cos we didn't have much to do - just cut up some fallen down trees with hand saws which was a bit pointless cos somebody turned ...
