Townsville
Having been to Townsville a few times now, our reason for returning was to snorkel at the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA) on the outer Great Barrier Reef. First stop, a new mask.

On our way from Port Douglas to Townsville we stopped at Cardwell for one of their famous Crab Sandwiches and were not disappointed. It’s a lovely spot, though the beach is a ‘no go’ zone because of the resident crocodiles.

Townsville was such a surprisingly beautiful city. With Magnetic Island so close its a place we would definitely come back to visit and stay awhile. Having stayed on Magnetic Island a few years ago, we didn’t visit this trip, instead we stayed at Rowes Bay Caravan Park right on the beach with a magnificent view of Magnetic Island across the water. They dont take bookings except for their units, and they encourage people to keep extending for as long as they like. This worked well for us as we kept busy exploring Townsville and visiting a physio for Tim’s shoulder injury.
