Tropical Treats

With all the kombi dramas of late, Luke and I were sooooo excited to make it coast! Growing up by the beach, the ocean has always been important to us and seeing the water again gave us back our bearings after such a long time in the desert!

Townsville was our first stop and although it was a little colder than what we would have liked (Hello? 30 degrees - where are you?) it was like paradise after our unexpected extended visit to Tennant Creek. The Townsville foreshore pumps with water parks for the kids, bike riders and rollerbladers everywhere, people having picnics and even the entire North Queensland Cowboy cheer leading squad practicing their routine for the next home game, all making the most of the great space on the waters edge. Luke quickly found himself a rock and soaked up the sun and views of Magnetic Island.



Oh and the best news of all? We found a mobile auto electrician who, after Luke pulled out our busted alternator, came to the caravan park to pick it up and dropped it back again that afternoon, as good as new! Whoo hoo! With both batteries now charging properly, we're back in stress-free camping business! (Well, as stress-free as camping and travelling thousands of kilometres in a 32-year-old van can get!).

Yours in the great outdoors,
Odette
