Townsville, North Queensland

Judy and I recently spent a wonderful week in Townsville visiting friends and enjoying the fantastic winter weather there. We are still waiting on delivery of our 'Cruiseliner' but we are slipping into 'travel mode' before hand.

Nearly every day the sunrise and sunset is a marvellous sight and experience to behold. This is 'first light' over Rowes Bay, Townsville.


Later the same morning, 'sun-up', at the same vantage point.


One hour drive north of Townsville is the town of Lucinda, probably best known for the sugar wharf, shown here, that stretches to infinity. The island appearing in the far background is Pelorus Island.
