After the sad morning burying Flickie, we
return to the bus. I throw her sleeping basket in a wheely-bin; it feels very
weird. Then we’re ready to let this place behind us. The road is awaiting us,
party of seven rather than eight. We are focusing now on getting to Cairns, but
not before we meet up with our RVTS friends in Townsville. Michael and Nadine with
their three daughters live in a beautiful home, with the neighbour’s block
being vacant. We are allowed to park there for two night. We won’t go into too
much detail about the scratch we make in the tarmac with our jockey-wheel
getting into the yard.
Catching up with our friends is very nice
indeed, especially because all the children are now big enough to really hang
out together. For the ultimate Aussie experience Michael throws some Shrimps on
the Barbie as well as sausages, steaks and seafood. Next morning we set out to
explore Townsville’s highlights, namely Castle Hill and The Strand. A lovely
relaxing way to spend a Saturday.
