Spent a few day's in Townsville as we had to have the car serviced and we also wanted to spend some more time with family members who live there. We stayed out at Bushland Beach with John, Tania and our new grandaughter, Mia. They are doing renovations so we helped them with a bit of painting. We also visited Aaron, Shay and our grandson Cooper who at the moment live just a few streets back from the Strand.
The Strand at Townsville has over the years been transformed into a wonderfull parkland. It is now a must visit part of Townsville. Bicycle and foot paths, children playgrounds and safe swimming areas. The little kiosk there also serves very good "Fish and Chips". A great place to fight off the sea gulls who are trying to pinch your chips while you eat what is left. Magnetic Island sits just a few kilometers off shore and right in front of where you are sitting.
Castle Hills sits in the middle of Townsville with, I am told, a really good walking path to the top called "The Goat Track". I had intentions of walking it this trip but just never got around to doing the track. A very slack bushwalker.
