I thought the place was an absolute gem.......Diane,<br />I thought the place was an absolute gem....only spent the day mores the pity. If that float plane is available go for a spin in it for me...I am sooo disappointed did not go for a flight over the city and immediate island. <br /><br />A butterfly enclosure exists close to the city which I would have liked to see. In retrospect I should have hired a car for the day as did use the grand nephews car and and only at the insistence of his mother, my niece. I would have been apprehensive myself having someone borrow my car and would have preferred to hire a car and see a little more. <br /><br />Townsville also has a great dive, classed as one of the best in the world where a clipper in years gone by went down with all aboard and the reef as grown over the wreck and believe the fish life is unbelievable and many many varieties of the colorful corals and fish. I would have enjoyed this also as years gone by was a member of the Cairns Spearfishing Club and dived on many reefs in my youth in the late 60's. Diving on the reef is to me akin to another planet and dreamlike as is so beautiful and sometimes I have difficulty in the reality.<br /><br />You are not a slob...you should see me in boots and spurs and the cowboy hat....I overcompensate when out and about.....always was a bit over the top.<br /><br />Cheers, Have a lovely party with that bear and take many pics so that I may enjoy the balmy tropics for a little....9 degrees here this morning on this mountain...not complaining though as believe I live in the best climate in Australia.....perhaps the world!!!told you I tend to go over the top.Lizzie's Insomniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986739328852657727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950721623717146798.post-75557863684397151032009-04-30T21:45:00.000+10:002009-04-30T21:45:00.000+10:00How did I miss this great post before. I am back a...How did I miss this great post before. I am back at work for the next ten weeks and it sure interfers with blog time.This post is very interesting for me because I have never been to townsville but we are going in a few weeks time to surprise a friend with birthday bear for her birthday. We are staying at the Casino so it was good to see the area. You took some great shots. Love the shoes and toenails. A bit posh for a farm girl. I don't bother with fancy shoes or painted toenails. I'm a slob.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.com
