We set off early from Paronella Park and started travelling to Mission Beach. The original plan was to maybe stop here for a while but when we got there nothing was open, not even the tourist information. So, we had a quick look at the beach and then continued our journey to Townsville.We parked up in the town centre and went for a walk to try and find the tourist info there. I (Rachel) did the map reading and took us to where the place was, but turned out I'd go...

We dismantled the tent and headed south along the coast until we reached a town called 'Innisfail'. We stopped off and wondered around town topping up on supplies and getting a couple of storage boxes for the car. We also found a few music cd's for a dollar each in a charity shop so got some, 'Kelly Clarkson', 'Bon Jovi', 'NSYNC' and 'B Witched' to go with 'Meat Loaf' and 'Celine Dion', so were getting quite a selection now. We then got back on the road and heade...

On the Friday we woke up (after a lovely night sleep in a bed!) and we used the internet to catch up on our jobs for most of the morning while chilling, as we had the room to ourselves now. In the afternoon, Graeme then took me for a walk around Darwin… not sure about walk really more like a trek maybe! We went to the tourist info for a bit, then went for a look at the beach again. Then we headed across town to look at Coff's Harbour and the Beach which were ni...
