Yes a kilo of fresh local prawns for tea tonight from the local fisherman. Yum yum.

We drove from Charters Towers through the coastal ranges and skirted Townsville all in cloudless skies. By the time we had got to Ingham it was looking pretty grey. You get mentally prepared for it to be cold but it was still 24c outside so not too bad

We arrived in Cardwell to a pleasent welcome to a very nice beachside caravan park albeit drizzling by that time. The views to Hinchinbrook island are imposing on a lousy day like today so should be magnificent in the sun tomorrow (hopefully)

We checked out the town still recovering from Cyclone Yasi that wiped it out more than 2 years ago. Can't believe some of the pictures of the damage but mostly fixed now even though we were told those who decided to stay (and many left apparently) now pay 400% more for insurance than before

The local fishing charter guy wanted $700 to take us out fishing tomorrow so he is obviously not that worried if he works or not. He won't be getting our money

We have 3 days here to chill out so come out to play Mr Sun !!
