Day 70: Mission Beach - Townsville

Waving goodbye to the wind and rain in Misson Beach, we set off down the coast in search of sunshine.

It was strange coming back the Townsville after spending so long here just before Christmas.

We booked into the pleasant Rowes Bay Caravan Park where we stayed before. This time we had the luxury of Henry and did not have to suffer a leaking tent.

Townsville will be our base for a little while. We have ordered a new Black Wolf FS Turbo Lite 250 tent and are waiting for it to arrive. Plus our fridge only works on power since Henry broke down in Barkly Homestead and not 12v, so we need to sort that out.

The weather is glorious, our towels are dry and I may even try to wash and dry our dooner (duvet) that is so unpleasantly musty we can't use it after it was couped up in a bag for three months while we were in England.

Let's hope the rain isn't still following us...
