Travelling Post 44 - Townsville

Townsville is a city very much like Bangor, just bigger. The centre is situated in a valley but it has outer valley areas and is a University town, OK so that's about where the similarities end but it is also where I met up with a friend from the newly named Bangor University. He showed me the er.. highlights of Townsville, which are as limited as Bangor and then we went swimming in an open air swimming pool in the next town along.

The pool was decently sized and brought up the question why we don't have these free facilities back home? Yes the weather is often too bad for swimming pools but what about sports facilities as well as the often poorly kept parks we do hav? On that pondering note this post ends.

Next Stop: Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays

Hi son,
A bit better, but I think it must be that you are either fed up of blogging or you don't want to share your adventures with us anymore, especially when they keep making us jealous.
Love mum and dad xxx
