I caught the Greyhound to Townsville from Cairns at lunchtime. The journey was uneventful (no sightings of any kangaroos but plenty of banana trees) other than people trying to get further down the coast than their ticket prohibited. Pretending to be asleep didn't work with this coach driver. In fact, his rigour in sticking to 'official’ Greyhound policy was mildly amusing. His insistence of sticking to the scripted announcements pre and post each stop was relentless, though to his ...
Townsville, Queensland, Australia robontour... weeks) and was hoping to try go catch a game or go to a training session to grab an autograph. However it turns out that his team is based in Townsville which is the place we have just left to catch the ferry, we do go back through it on Friday but only for a few hours to catch a bus, so unless I can figure something out the chance of meeting the Liverpool Legend might have to go on hold because I'm not sure if I can justify taking the 6 hour bus journey back ...
Magnetic Island, Queensland, Australia gaz-lj... to Townsville. After a pleasant bus journey that took just over 5 hours we arrived in Townsville for a night before getting on another boat tomorrow to take us to ferry us across to Magnetic Island, not sure of where the name comes from but sure we'll find out. I doubt if the whole island is magnetic that would just be silly, we have heard that the island has the largest number of wild Koala's for the area.
This afternoon was taken up ...
We pulled for a one nighter in Townsville, then we were heading down the coast to Brisbane, We went through Ayr and for those that don't know we lived about 10 miles from Ayr when we stayed in Scotland.
We pulled in to few places on the way including Airlie Beach which was very nice. As we think we will be settling this side of the big country we ...
... functioning toilet situation and the damage caused by the ridiculous Daintree sign. Had to wait ages again (today was a day of waiting as it transpired) and eventually got sorted out. Campervan man was sympathetic, but non-committal. They have taken A$1500 from our credit card for the damage and we will have to contact them in a few days time to find out how much they are actually charging us. On top of that we have had to pay A$75 for an estimate for ...

Townsville 29 May 2009 - 5 June 2009
Arrived in Townsville
on 29th May and I immediately managed to get us lost - a new by-pass
road had been recently finished and wasn't on my map. Darn - knew we should have just listened to her on the GPS! She sometimes doesn't know all the
roads though so you can never be quite sure!!! Anyway we got here in the end.

As a result 2 of our 3 accommodation choices were closed (!), with no sign of life whatsoever.
There were also no places open to buy or eat food, so it was lucky we had some stuff in our trusty Eskie.
