Left Airlie Beach about 9 and arrived at Wulguru about 2pm. Nice park, good site. Swimming pool, bouncing pillow, play area, splash park. Stopped at Home Hill on the way for a cuppa and custard tart/muffin. Al finally agreed to try cough medicine. Drove into Townsville city. Walked around the marina and along the strand. Public swimming pool along here too. Called in CBar for coffee and scones. Found some really good street art. Visited the BBQ Battle - Al had pulled pork burger and I had loaded potato with pulled pork - yummy. Drove to Castle Hill Lookout - amazing views. Cotters markets in Flinders street - road closed off. Bought unicorn hairbrush for Freya for birthday. Magnetic Island. Caught ferry over to island (20mins) and then on to mini travel bus. Originally called Magnetic Island cos Captain Cook thought it was messing with his compass (wasn't). Picked up from Nelly Bay ferry terminal, stopped at Rocky Bay Beach lookout then on to Picnic Bay, the oldest neighbourhood on the island and a walk along the jetty. Stopped at Dr Ricks Aquasearch Aquarium who is a world expert on giant clams and has a small aquarium with different tropical fish. On to Geoffrey Bay/Arcadia where we fed some Allied Rock Wallabies - very cute. One held my hand so I wouldn't take the food away. Some massive rock formations all over the island. Stopped at Horseshoe Bay for lunch which took forever to make. Visited Butterfly Forest then on to ferry and back home. Al sick the next couple of days until we left for Cairns.
