Another warm day in Townsville and I am getting desperate to stay out of the sun. We decided not to head to Magnetic Island as we've heard Dunk is a better option, and just up the road. So out to the native wildlife park where you can get up close and personal with wombats, kangaroos, koalas, crocodiles, and some deadly snakes. It was pretty good but the guide added his personal touch too often and it very annoying (putting it politely). Sadly it detracted from the experience for many along with the VERY dusty setting. Home to hose everyone down and I got ready for a ride along the strand with the kids. As we were leaving we ran into our friends from Port Hedland and it seems they secured a spot on the other side of the park. They slept in a truck stop last night, which Tammy said was OK. I'm not sure I would have been so stoic. Anyway we were very happy to be reunited and the kids thought it was pretty cool. Poor Chris (dad) has gastro and didn't surface, but Tammy was happy to socialise and join us for a few early impromptu beers. So much for that walk and effort to exercise. I think Rick was sad that his drinking buddy was out of action and is hopeful of a speedy recovery tomorrow. We took the kids for a visit to the playground and scooter around the park. Crumbed chicken for dinner, a book and early to bed for the kids, a first since we've been away.
