Townsville Outriggers on the Strand

Tuesday in Townsville – Outriggers on the Strand

February 19, 2013 By Jan Robinson 4 Comments

This week’s Tuesday in Townsville photo is of outriggers on the Strand in Townsville.  The sight of the beached outriggers  adds that instant island feel to the already tropical setting of sand, sea and palm trees. 

Both the Townsville Outrigger Canoe Club and the Maggie Island Outrigger Canoe Club have a presence on the Strand Beach and can be seen practicing off shore several times a week.
