Today has dawned only marginally brighter than yesterday. The sky is a little bluer but it is still very windy and it still looks very sketchy, like rain could start at any time. It is time to pack up from our little home once again and venture out in to the big wide world again.

After a little shopping we head a little further north up the coast. We take a little detour in to Cape Hillsborough National Park. It is a very nice little spot. After lunch we head out for a short 3km loop walk along the Beachcomber Cove trail. This starts along the beach and then up a very easy trail to a lookout. Then it winds back down to the start. An enjoyable little walk.

We then start driving north again. We couldn’t decide whether to go in to Airlie Beach or stay just outside the main tourist area. As you can imagine, we decided to stay just outside at Lake Proserpine and arrived around 4.30pm. This was a lovely little area except the wind was about 45kmh and the lake was really choppy. Maybe we can see it at its best tomorrow. We enjoyed a little R&R before dinner for a change. We have been trying to decide on a drive for when the girls arrive on Saturday. To go hard and try to see lots or just do a couple of walks nearby.

We Arte slowly getting closer to Townsville. Only 290km to go over the next 2 days. I think wee should be able to manage a walk or two along the way.
