Townsville to Armstrong Beach ...

We chose our van park in Townsville for convenience.  Having an ensuite site was great and we liked seeing the curlew family each day (though were sad when one chick didn't make it). 

It was nice to move on and continue our travels. Our next park was selected on the basis of it's distance from Townsville - and because it was less busy than Mackay.  

Armstrong Beach Caravan Park is a very quiet, small park situated right on the Pacific Ocean. It's in a peaceful coastal setting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. 

It was such a great choice, just beside the beach. We went for a long walk. So many little crabs and their millions of tiny sand balls! 

Sand Bubbler Crabs are small crabs, around 1cm across the carapace. The balls are formed as a result of how they feed, filtering sand through their mouthparts.

As it was the last day of our 7th week, we had a lovely cheese platter celebration. 

We opened a jar of date chutney, carted all the way from Coward Springs!
