Every work day B.H. and I meet after he finishes work in the Townsville CBD and together we walk 4.4 km along THE STRAND and back.

Today I am sharing my view from the passenger seat on our 12 km drove home into a particularly beautiful sunset.  It shows just how quickly the tropical sun sets.

      Being peak hour traffic we have to stop quite frequently, so I wait till we stop and then just take them through the windscreen! The one of Stocklands I wound down the window whilst stopped at the lights and took out of the window.
