Townsville and Cairns were our “civilisation” stops. After 3 weeks of dust and vast empty outbackness, a city change was welcome.
Townsville was first on the list and it was nice to catch up with old friends; have a jaunt around town and the hill; eat a lunch that didn’t involve ham and cheese; and get cleaned & restocked.
I also took the opportunity to meet up with Michael Slogget, a mentor and trainer of mine whose inspiration helped make this trip happen.
With all the visiting, tourist-ing and errands done, we left the over-crowded, highway caravan park and headed north into the tropics.
