Today we are being proper backpackers and catching a bus to Airlie Beach. But first the kind people, who gave us a lift yesterday, picked us up from our motel and showed us more of Townsville. We went to the Tropical Museum and saw a very interesting exhibition about HMS Pandora, which pursued the mutineers from the Bounty.
Then our friends gave us lunch in their traditional Queenslander house - built on stilts to keep it cool in the summer - before giving us a lift to the bus station.
Townsville is also where Morris and I discovered Tim Tams (chocolate biscuits a little bit like Penquins) so we stocked up for the journey.
