Our Little Slice of Heaven!
Thursday, February 8th, 2007Nov 24-26
After our adventures on the Great Barrier Reef, we continued south toward Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands with a pitstop in Townsville. Simon had been so spoiled by the playground and pools in Cairns that he actually cried when he saw the tiny pool and pathetic playground at the caravan park in Townsville. We decided to check out The Strand, Townsville waterfront, and discovered that, like most of the towns on Queensland’s coast, they had a swimming lagoon and a free waterpark for kids. This one was the best yet! The best part was the enormous bucket that was continuously filling with water and then dumping its contents on the revelers below.
