Another travel day - Etty Bay to Townsfield

As we have to travel 30 hours to reach Sydney, a few hours here and there should do it.  We woke up well rested and spent a few hours sorting out our destinations for 2 more stops.  The first travel day was to reach Townsville.  We arranged a stay at Secura Lifestyle Magnetic Gateway Townsville.  https://www.securalifestyle.com.au/parks/magnetic/
We first had to look around Etty Bay of course having only seen it in the dark.  It's nice.  Cautious of croc's we walked the beach, saw some coconut tree cleaner people and headed out.  We took out time stopping to snap pics along the way.  We even stopped at an information booth to go pee and wound up staying and shopping for like 1.5 hours.  So chill.  Really nice guy running the Secura lifestyle place.  His wife was hospitalized that day so we offered to help in anyway we could.  We planned out our Magnetic Island ferry and options for hikes and snorkeling and then crashed.

In Fiji, the locals use sticks.  This dude climbed up and pulled stuff down manually.  The coconuts went into a truck the leafs met a wood chipper.  I hope they utilized the coconuts



This guy popped in for a visit



Time to check out the beach.  At 10 AM it's already burning hot



We stopped here


Parked in the shade


Ate lunch here


Had to shoot this



See that line across the road


It's for Fauna to be able to cross


The rope crossing is described here


This part of the highway was build with consideration of many natural things


It makes a nice look out too




Not bad for an information center


Sunset before we crashed


Home sweet home, on wheels
