Far north Queensland

Having left family and friends we headed north.  1770 was a bit disappointing, howling winds.  Then to Airlie Beach for a taste of tourist fever.  Onward, and finally we hit a national park.  What a great relief to be away from the tourist parks.  We camped at Alligator Creek, in Bowling Green Bay National Park.

What a beautiful place.  Then we hit Townsville, staying with the Gibsons.  Fraser and Sue Ann welcomed us with a magnificent roast lamb dinner.  The next day it was off to Paluma Dam with a swim at Little Crystal Fall.  A stop at Birthday Falls resulted in an encounter with a yellow belly black snake.

Tomorrow its off to Cardwell and may be a visit to Hinchinbrock Island.
