Day 69 Mission Beach to Townsville

A quick swim in the stinger enclosure before departing and we were off with first stop being Tully information centre. The lady there just loved a chat and we finished with the plan to head to Murray River Falls (not the big Murray River) and also 6 free posters. Oh yes there was free Tea and Coffee there so Richie was right into the Tea which he is now.

So it was Murray falls for lunch but the March flies thought they were having us for lunch. Nice spot though. (Notice the margarine container - that was our swatted March Fly container that we were keeping to feed to lizards).

After lunch it was time for a quiuck dip in the river and a snorkle around where we saw some big catfish, jungle perch, shrimp and sone other stuff....

Then it was on to Townsville where we had heard about this cheap camp ground at a Seventh Day Adventist Convention Centre. Well I was fed up with Townsville after the third traffic light and then we got to the camp with this dried out field in the middle of the church / school ground. However we did find a lovely family in the spot next door who were able to make us feel at home.
