Day 14 - Chillagoe to Townsville

I followed Brett’s advice on route and went through some beautiful countryside, dropping down to the coast. Lovely rolling hills, green green grass and trees. It was winding and steep so not a very fast road.  I got to my campsite in Townsville in spite of the fact that the only sign for it on a divided highway was beyond it and said “Back 100m”. A long U turn and I found it.

I put up my tent for the first time since Carnarvon. I was a bit anxious because I had used it as a buffer between Adelie’s 4X4 and my back door. I had visions of all the bendy poles in the bag being broken into little pieces! But it was all fine.

The campsite was wedged in a triangle between the main highway south and the main road into Townsville. The north south railway line was just behind the highway! After the peace and tranquillity of my previous places it was very noisy. I also found that the site I had been allocated was directly under a street light! Not a good night’s sleep.
