Our afternoon walks in Townsville sometimes include Cleveland Terrace on Melton Hill.  A few days ago after a cool change I was surprised by the clarity of the view so I produced my trusty Canon S95 from my short’s pocket and climbed out onto a rock.  I love that the Canon fits in my pocket …

  Townsville sits on the East Coast of Australia in the curve of Cape Cleveland overlooking the Coral Sea. A Cape Cleveland sunrise marks the start of our day in Townsville.   Morning is as good a time as any to meet the colourful and noisy locals as they search the Bottle Brushes and the …

It was all Marty’s fault.  He went and declared the wet season over on a recent afternoon walk.  I knew then and there that we were in for more rain. On Saturday 12th April with Cyclone Ita situated somewhere up near Cairns we went to dinner at the Capitol Regent Chinese restaurant in the City.  …

The Strand is one of our favourite walks because it is the perfect length (4.4 km return), with the option of a small hill walk if we feel so inclined.  During the hot summer months we walk there to take advantage of the cooling sea breezes.   As soon as the weather cools, Riverway Townsville …

The other day I found myself at the corner of Flinders Street East and Wickham Street in Townsville and could not resist taking a photo of the river.  It looks at it’s best in the morning – the earlier the better – but I was there about 8 a.m. so the reflections were fast disappearing …

  The Strand Townsville is a 2.2km parkland that stretches along the foreshore in Townsville. From the Strand you can see Magnetic Island across the Coral Sea. Crossing over the little creek that enters the ocean near Strand Waterpark my heart skipped a beat.  Recently the profusion of lily plants beneath the trees had been …

This Tuesday I have two Townsville photographs to share.  They are not cafe reviews, or Things to Do in Townsville, but just moments from my day. I took this first shot through the windscreen on the way home from our daily walk along The Strand. The next one came about as I was sitting at …

The Ross River winds it’s way from the Ross River Dam in the far suburb of Kelso through a series of weirs that tame it.  In it’s lower reaches the Ross River or Ross Creek as it is correctly known in this Inner City location was looking quite picturesque so I stopped to take some …
