So we've reached what I believe is halfway on the trip and it feels like the days are going slightly faster which is concerning. Today was another transition/travel day, with the morning spent semi-leisurely in Townsville and the rest of the day travelling to Airlie Beach ahead of activities tomorrow!
First up was a visit to Reef HQ, an aquarium in Townsville CBD with a focus on the Great Barrier Reef, the main highlight of which is a 'fake' reef in the centre. I thought it was ok, there was a range of animals in the place and lots for kids, plus liked the presentation given by the lady diving in the tank, but felt it could have been more informative than it was. Following reef hq, we took a walk into town for a new haircut for Neil!
Then prior to hitting the road, we travelled up the main hill in Townsville for a panoramic view. Very nice it was too, but I still can't quite put my finger on Townsville and if I like it or not!
Then it was back in the camper as we headed south through Ayr and Bowen, before reaching Airlie Beach, Gateway to the Whitsunday's! We found the campsite, did the usual cleaning, washing and refreshing, then took a walk into town for a Mexican dinner and a few beers!
Tomorrow we hit the water once again, this time on some speed rafts!
