Townsville

On the way to Townsville I got a speeding fine ... first one on the trip! Can't complain..the nice Mr policeman dropped the speed because I was so polite and apologetic so I only lost 1 point and got a small fine.


Had a very special time with Di and her family. Di and I have known each other since I was 14. She is a scream and we had a lot of fun and laughs. Some may remember Di from my 40th at Bohos.

Foreground: Kyra and Montana, Diann and Darren's kids, with some friends at dinner.

The weather started great on Monday at 29oC, then went downhill rapidly. It poured with rain for days and then yesterday was min. 17, max 19 and 24mm. Adelaide in comparison was 16oC. Last night I slept under 2 sheets and it was 9oC...I didn't get much sleep! It has been 85% humidity some days which impressed me. High for winter I thought.

Off to Cairns right now, so next blog will be from my final destination!
