We had a swim and a big breakfast before we left the Palm Tree caravan park.

We filled up with diesel at a very strange petrol station with a mountain of cars behind it on one side and a radio station set up on the other. Varsha took some photos. We bought a bag of delicious lychees there. We also worked out how much diesel we are using and made a budget for our trip.
Varsha is recording our rating of the overall experience of where we have stayed. We worked out the average of our ratings.
We didn’t get very far before we had to have ice cream at the Frosty Mango. Their soursop ice cream is so good.

In Townsville we went to look at our old house and were surprised to see they had cut the big old mango trees down.

We had a picnic in the park next to Varsha’s old preschool.

Charters Towers is charming. We drove around looking at the caravan parks, what was on at the drive in and going to the supermarket for dinner supplies.

The Dalrymple Caravan Park has a jumping pillow and lovely soft green grass. Our set up and pack ups are becoming more streamlined.
