Still travelling north at quite a pace and today saw us visiting Townsville. Although this is a very large city someone had told me about a natural sea-pool on the Esplanade or Strand as it was called. I managed to navigate us around the city and we found a perfect parking spot. The esplanade had been very well landscaped and we walked along it to the natural pool. There were also several beaches with red flags due to the Stingers although it tends to be too cold for them in June - September and we watched a stinger net being winched in and cleaned in one place. The decision was did we swim in the sea in a stinger net (photo 1) or in the natural pool that had a small chance of stingers (photo 2) - the Australians have more warning notices than any where I know. I chose the natural pool and had no problems - it was quite chilly but refreshing - and we followed the swim with fish and chips (again).
