Townsville

From Mission Beach we drove down to Townsville, where we spent a night in a Bournemouth-esque chintzy bed and breakfast called Coral Lodge. We spent a day in Townsville where we strolled along the esplanade and visited the excellent Reef HQ aquarium. In the evening we caught the Ferry over to Magnetic Island and checked into the XBase flashpacker hostel, which I will write more about in my next post.
