Townsville, Magnetic Island and surrounds

 
 
Arriving in Townsville
looking for our park somewhere at the foot of that range
ready for some exploring in the Paluma Nat Park 

little Crystal creek one of the prettiest places we've seen 
 
 

lookout on the way back from crystal creek 
big rock looked like Noah's ark coming down the creek
 
Back down onto the Bruce Highway and a visit to the Frosty Mango for a latte with an unexpected bonus side of ice cream
 
 
another pretty place.....Balgal Beach for our lunch behind Rollingstone 
beautiful colours as the tide went out at Balgal beach 
ready to board ferry for Magnetic Island
and away we go
