kmusserSlept in. Yay.
Decided to stay in Townsville today and did museums.
First was the ReefHQ - their aquarium to give us a little taste of the Great Barrier Reef - especially cool since it doesn't look like we'll have time to actually go out there this trip. Saw many fishes and other funny critters like giant clams. The cuttlefish looks particularly Cthulhu-like.
Second was the Museum of Northern Queensland - which is mostly devoted to the wreck of the H.M.S. Pandora. The Pandora was the ship sent after the Bounty after it mutineed. The Pandora was wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef and this museum houses many goodies recovered from the wreck.
Had dinner on the oceanfront, complete with tropical drinks. Then hit the beach for a brief swim.
Evening we drove to the top of Castle Hill, which is this mountain in the middle of Townsville, lovely views all around.
Picked up supplies for tomorrows BBQ and went to bed.
Out of time - more updates to follow when I get a chance.

Date: 12 Apr 2004 08:37 (UTC)I'm wondering if there's any chance of bumping into you whilst you're here. I recently moved from Brisbane down to Melbourne. I'm back in Brisbane next weekend, Canberra the weekend after, and back to Melbourne after that.
Anyhoo, hello. Hope you're having fun.
