Townsville Trip - Day 3
Walked into Townsville this morning along The Strand.
We found a couple of the cafes that have been mentioned in the guides, but only one was open and even that one didn't have a working kitchen. We made do with coffee and cake, before continuing on into the city and after a short stop at the Information Centre, we wandered into the Mall. Unfortunately, this has definitely seen better days and it was surprising not to see a department store there.
After the mall, we went to the aquarium and I took lots of pictures, there are a lot that will be deleted, but hopefully there will be some good ones in there.
After a short rest back at the hotel, we went up Castle Hill and it is an amazing view up there. The drive down was slow, avoiding all the pedestrians.
We went shopping at the Woolworths in the town centre, and then found Palmer Street, we choose one of the restaurants along there for dinner.
