The big Mango,
Bowen.
As being the party people we are (not), we woke up early on New Years day without a hangover or a dodgy tummy. We packed up the car...again....checked out of our motel room.....again....... and headed north.
We passed through Proserpine, the turn off to Airlie Beach and then had a short stop at the big mango in Bowen before continuing on. We wizzed through Home Hill and then Ayr. Just outside of Ayr, we were followed for about 20km by a highway patrol car. I thought for sure he was going to pull us over, but as we got to our turn off near Townsville, he kept on going.
We arrived at Townsville in time for a late lunch at a popular restaurant near our hotel room then with full tummies, back up to the room for an afternoons rest. We ventured out later in the afternoon to a pub across the road and stayed there for dinner. The waitress did not have her mind on her job that day as we got charged for 2 glasses of wine which we had, a bottle of wine which we did not order and then she forgot to charge us for our to main meals.
Ahh, Townsville, so close but so far, one more day on the road to go.
