TOWNSVILLE

After spending another day at Giru to wash "Lucky Pigs" and the Suzuki we left this morning and travelled the 50 kms to Townsville where we had a look around the esplanade with views of Magnetic Island (photo), then after refueling (Diesel $1.419) we travelled out to a campsite at Saunders Beach, but found it too small for our liking, so we continued on to another spot at "Bluewater Park" which is a nice grassed camping area on the banks of Bluewater Creek about 30kms north of Townsville, where we met up with other travellers that we have previously met along the way. We will probably use the Suzuki to have a better look around the area in the next couple of days. Mobile, Internet & Digital TV is good here as well.
