I had a lovely day sightseeing today. Although we had never met before Gypsy Rover (Chris) picked me and my little dog up this morning and took us for a lovely tour of Townsville. Drove up to Castle Hill which overlooks the city. A bit cloudy but lovely views over the bay. Visited the botanic gardens and then sat and had lunch by the water. A drive around the city looking at the various points of interest and then back to caravan park for a cup of tea.
Thank you once again Chris, Oscar and I had a great day and your kindness was much appreciated.
Glad you had a good day Jan - sorry wasn't around to meet up with you - it is raining now here - yuk!!!!!!! still at the Town and Country cp (at the showgrounds) - but now on site 24 - got bogged on the other one!!!!!

You are welcome Jan, I enjoyed it too. Great to meet you and Oscar and show you a bit of Townsville.
My labrador is going to be OK. After telling us they thought he had a tumour in his heart, it turned out to be a thyroid problem so we can hopefully pick him up from the vet hospital this afternoon.
Yes nice park but noisy cos it's in the industrial area and on a corner, I like the Woodlands Big4 but a little out of town, Rowes Bay is nice too but they don't return calls and you can't book a site so lost me.

DON't go to a big4 during skool holidays too many kids and ALL big4 parks are too expensive, gave them away years ago.

Rowes Bay has a system where you have to turn up in the morning and wait to see if anyone leaves, once you get a site it yours for as long as you want to stay, they give you until 10am each morning to re book. Well worth the wait, its in a great spot opposite the beach
Yep - we are in the showgrounds Town and Country cp- not flash - but not expensive either - we can walk to Castletown shops, or into town only about 4k - and when it is this damp - doesn't matter where you are - we have stayed at Magnetic Gateway CP as well earlier on, but getting satellite tv stuff this wekk from place across the road - so very convenient! Rather stay in a free camp anyday - back on the road next week - yay!!!!!
