Camped last night next to a toilet block which was not very good but served the purpose. Gas bottle caught fire, in bed early. Drove round Taylors Beach beautifully neat and clean nearly all houses very tidy and new, few oldies good roads, parks, beach areas etc. river goes into the sea. Who keeps it so well and off the maps? Went out to Forest Beach and Victoria Sugar Mill where we gave ourselves a tour of the mill – follow the red arrows. Very interesting. On to Townsvillewhich we surveyed parked near casino and Sheraton. Big marina and wharves, ferry for Magnetic Island, reminded me of Arch. Went to Barrier Reef Wonderland which was rather good, reinforced yesterdays ventures. Met Robyn VT from StAlbans. Went down to the city for a wander had films developed looked at Banks pictures in a gallery. Had lunch, went back to see a film in Omnimax Theatre. Amazing screen all around you so you are right in the action. Phoned Burdekin Wilderness Lodge for accomodation and left at 4:00 to drive 260km. Arrived at 6:00 great place on the edge of a Lake – dam. Had a good Tbone and social night. Good cabins.
