Ok, so we said there would be no more walking, and that really was the intention but we don't think that Lynn believes us!! We arrived in Townsville on Wednesday afternoon, and after checking into some digs we took a look around the place. The Strand along the ocean front is really nice, although the memorial gardens are a little strange, as they start talking to you about the war as you walk passed!!

We are moving on again today after doing our best to kill Lynn and Leslie on Dunk Island yesterday! We arrived in South Mission Beach on Monday after leaving Cairns behind and booked ourselves onto the boat taxi across to Dunk Island for the next day, before having a look around the town.

We left Cairns and headed north towards Cape Tribulation as we figured that there was the best chance of finding some secluded beach land that we could drive around on. Once we got there it was still only early afternoon, so we took the Ute for a dri...
