Day 31, Monday 1st September – Bike Service Townsville Day 1

Dropped the bike off at 9 ish and proceeded to the local shopping centre for breakfast.

Got bored after an hour so took off for one of 3 botanic gardens in Townsville -The Palmettum.

Hard to forget that Townsville is a garrison town when you hear Blackhawks and Jets flying around. No photos of the jets – do you know how hard it is for someone dead in one ear to directionalise jets with heavy tree canopy cover?

Cool old truck
Blackhawk Accident Memorial, 18 deaths in 1996
Turtles!
Walked a looong way around the Ross River

Got the bus into the Strand late in the arvo

Eternal flame at War Memorial
Drove past this 3 times when we were here a couple of weeks ago. You see so much more at walking pace
Artwork called Shazza and Dazza

And then caught an Uber back to the hotel in Aitkenvale for dinner
