Townsville

Saturday, June 29th, 2002

Saturday 29th June, (Townsville).
Well plans do change: we have moved on from Balgal beach because the Midges got to Linda last night and they have affected her rather badly. Not knowing much about these Midges, they must only come out to bother people in the right weather conditions. Last time we camped there we had […]

Balgal Beach

Friday 28th June, (Balgal beach).
We are still touring around the freebie camp areas between Ingham and Townsville. We are enjoying this lifestyle so much we are looking forward to getting as much of it in the future as we possibly can.
We are now back at Balgal beach, we stayed here on our way to Ingham, […]

Ingham

Saturday 22nd June, (Ingham).
An interesting week has now passed at Ingham; all of my chores have been done. The new tyres fitted, the annexe shades have been made and modified to suit all applications and we have had somewhat of a look around the area.
Ingham is somewhat of a surprise to us, as although we […]

Tuesday 18th June part 2, (Ingham).
Now the tyre saga: as previously mentioned, it may at the time have not meant much, but remember the tyre I changed before leaving Townsville, well as just mentioned the dread of a blow out happened anyway. Not just a blow out, but the entire tread separated from the rest […]

Tuesday 18th June, (Ingham).
I had a story to put on paper yesterday, but after the events of the day I found I was too tired to even think about it.
We are now at Ingham, and what was to be a two-day, or so, stay will turn out to be something like a week, what with […]

Saturday 15th June, (Rollingstone).
The stay at Balgal was very enjoyable, but we may not return because of the sand flies. A great many people left the area because of the flies, they didn’t seem to bother us much, I do spray repellent when we are in unknown areas so maybe this had a large effect.
We […]

Thursday 13th June, (Balgal Beach).
An incident has occurred that I am not sure how to take: Linda has convinced me to discard my shoes and socks, not my shoes and socks! She has finally won and had me walking not only on the beach barefoot, but in the water as well. I guess this should […]

Chapter Fourteen.
Filling it time round Townsville.
Tuesday 11th June 2002, (Saunders Beach).
After spending a couple of weeks in Townsville we have decided that it is time to move on and check out these camp areas between there and Ingham.
We are at present at Saunders Beach, the first of the camp areas set up by the local […]

Monday 10th June, (Townsville).
We did have a couple of very cold nights, well we think nowadays that anything below 10 or 11 degrees is cold, one night Linda even turned on her blanket. It didn’t last all night though as she overheated half way through the night and had to turn it off.
Otherwise we have […]

Tuesday 4th June, (Townsville).
One job we are now half way through and I think we are both regretting even starting it. We have began rearranging and reshaping the green shade awning cover for the annexe. The problems were that we used the old green shade that we have had hanging since day one, which was […]
