From Ravenshoe we moved back to the coast and spent a couple of days at Mission Beach, which can be seen behind Vicki in the middle shot. We then moved down through Townsville and out to Magnetic Island. We rather liked Townsville, seen in the bottom shot from atop nearby Castle Hill, and then in the top pic from the ferry as we were leaving. Townsville felt like a real place where real people actually live and work, rather than a town existing for tourists alone. Plus it has the most obvious name in Australia.
