2 Days in Townsville

A couple of days in Townsville that have been very full & hectic. Quite a lot to see.
Tomorrow we are going somewhere else, further North.

 Morning tea, at Reids river rest area, after leaving Charters Towers.


                                                                          As above.


                                                      On the Strand at Townsville.


                                                           Yvonne on a strange brass chair.


                                                  Both of us on 2 strange brass chairs.


                                                Some crap about the 2 strange brass chairs.



Outriggers. Are these the same as dragon boats ?
                                                                      Some other stuff.

                                      Quite a lot of high rise accommodation on the foreshore.


                                  Waiting for coffee after some heavy duty Strand viewing.


 The state government commissioned this art installation, because they have a spare million or 2 of our money to waste.


                                                                         As above.

                                                                        As above.


 As above. Note the protective safety fences around all the containers, because we are so stupid we might walk up to the steel containers and smack our heads against them until they bleed. We have to be protected against ourselves.
