Townsville 5/9/15

A slight glitch to our travels with a week business trip to Townsville. It was a pleasant change of scenery to see lush tropical gardens ( even though the city is under water restrictions and fire danger warnings) and the ocean. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay at the Rowes Bay caravan Park, handy to bike and walking tracks to Pallarenda and a great outlook to Magnetic Island. It is a developing city and we were amazed at the residential building development which has occurred in newly developed suburbs in recent years at North Shore area. However, business is slow since the downturn in the mining industry. Photo - Yarrawonga and Castle Hill on a windy bushfire day
