190 - Townsville

While we at st TNC we decided to have a look around Townsville.

Although we have been through Townsville a million times, and did two "tours of duty" there, we felt it time to at least visit Castle Hill, and go for another walk along the "Esplanade.

In Townsvilles defence, Cairns has tried a similiar venture, however Townsvilles esplanade wins hands down.

We moved on from Townsville and TNC after a couple of days, and headed to Bivouac Bush Camp at Charters Towers. Stay tooooooooned!!!!!!!!!!

I think part of the difference btw Cairns & Townsville
s esplanades is what they look like at low tide!! But after a gap of some years, we visited Townsville and couldn't believe the waterfront transformation!

Hi there Red Nomad Oz

Yep Cairns low tide on the Esplanade is a shocker. At least Townsville has the sand beaches.

AS far as living is concerned Cairns is my choice.

Good to hear from you

Cheers and beers
