TOWNSVILLE

Packed up and moved camp to Rowe Bay Park which is pretty full but no traffic and on the very nice beach, realised we didn’t redeem our key money so went back for it. Called at a couple of computer stores on the way to see if I can get the TV card to work but no luck( there is a problem with the software).

Later in the afternoon I had to go back to Stocklands Shopping Centre to find an optometrist as the lens fell out once again (had to have it repaired in Cairns and about three times before we left). Di bought some T Shirts whilst there. Stopped off on the Strand to watch the Offshore Speed boats practice but must have been too late. This is the first time these boats are racing here in Townsville and we saw some coming into town on semi trailers, they are huge and cost up to $1,000,000 each.

Listened to Port Power make road kill of the Kangaroos ( went for a walk at ¾ time as it was too depressing).

Watched John Doe a Garry Cooper movie on DVD, quite good black and white movie.
