Found ourselves in Townsville, hosted by the fabulous Reecy. Amazingly enough not too badly jet-lagged. The weather is awesome. Our first wildlife sighting is an ibis in Reecy's backyard :-) Slept in and did some errands and then headed north toward Innisfail. Stopped to see Joruma Falls, which are very pretty - watch out for giant poisonous spiders - also saw geckos and shiny butterflys. Stopped at a pub, have to keep up traditions :-) Stopped at Mango Frosty, how can you resist someplace called Mango Frosty? Zammis was quite happy with the discovery that they had dairy free ice cream. Also stopped at a winery, which was bad - there's a reason Queensland is not known for its wineries. After that it began raining (you'd think we were in a tropical climate or something), but stopped by the time we actually reached Innisfail. After updating you all we shall find food. Tomorrow - the beach!
