Tuesday in Townsville at the Longboard

Whenever somebody invites me to lunch I always hope they will choose a destination along Townsville’s Strand.  So when two of my sis-in-laws invited me to the Longboard I was excited.  The Longboard shares the Gregory Street headland with one of my favourite spots The C Bar, but I had been wanting to visit the Longboard for a long time.

We walk along the Strand every afternoon and The Longboard went through a stage of putting their daily special on a blackboard on Strand Walkway – which was Oh so tempting!

My Sis-in-laws both ordered wraps and liked them.  They were large and hit the spot.  I was not very hungry so I chose Chilli Garlic Prawns from the To Share Menu.   The taste of the prawns was true to their description – no complaints there!  I had read the menu as it being served with bread and I imagined naughtily dipping my bread into the garlic chilli oil from the hot pot.  I must not have read the description properly because the bread came already grilled with oil on it – bummer.

The Thursday we were there was overcast and very breezy but still there were a lot of diners.   In the late afternoon on the week-ends crowds of people stand drinking on the deck, no doubt taking advantage of the live music drifting across the road from the Seaview Hotel.

Here are some photos I took on the day.
