Townsville on the horizon.

We departed Airlie Beach with Ayr as our destination for overnight where there is a very large off-road park.
As it was only 2pm when we arrived at Ayr, being totally flexible we decided to press on to Townsville and camp overnight about 30km north at Bluewater Park, which is a fantastic camping facilty and only about 5km from the Bluewater Caravan Park where we are booked into from Saturday for 10 days. The local junior football club run a kiosk at the park, so Friday night we bought dinner from them - BBQ sausage in bread for $1. They also are allowed to sell beer etc there as it is about 25km to the nearest pub, consequently there were lots of locals there. We had a leisurely Saturday morning before departing this great free camping area and driving the 5km to the caravan park.
We have set up the annex as this will give Gail plenty of room during my absence at the Ulysses AGM in Townsville, which starts on Monday. I will be camping at the Showgrounds until next Saturday. Sunday we did a full load of washing in the laundry then went for a drive to a couple of the beaches in the vicinity.
Kevin and Gail.
