Hi, good thanks, yourself? that's good.
Yeah we've been here a few days now since Saturday night, we stayed with the girls for a few nights in their share house, we tried to snaffle a room there but it wasn't to be, so we had to find a new place to live.
Nelso and i set off with the idea of finding the tourist info centre, thinking it would be easy to find whilst also teaming with the info that we so cravenly desired. Following the signs from where the girls lived the info centre logo was on the city signs so we obviously followed them. We drove for about 12kms into the city and noticed that the info logo had been dropped from the signs. I found this a little annoying (they're happy to direct you to the info centre from 12kms away but as soon as you get close you're on your own). We continued riving aimlessly around the city for a while and ended up crossing the Ross river into south Townsville, found a army disposals store and decided to stop in... (not really a tourist info centre but at this point who gives a crap?) Upon entry we were greeted by a gillie suit that i really would like to buy, just for fun. other than that it was your typical redneck army surplus store complete with knives the size of swords and a holder for your slouch hat. Bored and done we left the army surplus store to meet the girls for lunch, Pizza Hut lunch special ohhhhh yeah we gorged ourselves. After lunch i did a search in my phone for backpackers in townsville and picked the one that had a pool. and the rest is history, i've taken a couple of brief shots of the views from our doorway, if you're lucky and i dare say you aren't i'll do a detailed photo review of this place (it has alot of character).
