Reid River Rest Area - Mon 16th November

After pausing for a few hours in Ravenswood we didn't attempt to drive direct to Townsville but elected to stay over at The Reid River Rest Area for the afternoon and night. This only left a short 50 km drive to Townsville the following morning.

This view of the Rest Area is more northerly.

The railway bridge over the Reid River. Another wide sandy bottomed river with no water.

Reid River in the other direction with the road bridge, Flinders Highway.

The following two nights we will be staying in a CP in Townsville. As we are going to be busy restocking the larder and looking for other essentials, like comfy camp chairs and not doing the tourist thing in Townsville we will not be posting to the blog from there. The next post will be from Bowen.
