We’ve spent the whole week in Townsville. And I know I should tell you all about the magnificent tourist attractions. But I can’t. All I can tell you about is… well… the lookouts. This blog post covers 7th to 13th August, in Townsville QLD. Townsville Lookouts Townsville does good lookouts. I mean, they’re high up, …
In this previous post: Our Ideal Set-Up, I waxed lyrical about our ideal set-up being a 4WD towing a camper trailer, along with all the additional bits and pieces that we believed would make life more comfortable for us. Well, here we are one month into our trip and some may wonder if this is …
