This morning we woke up and the sun was shining. Amanda and Les set off to the toilets as the kids slept in. Les met a friend who was about to go in the shower named Yosef, who was a hitchhiker heading southwards. Amanda and Les went back and put the Kettle on. Whilst sitting at the table located outside of the van, Yosef came over and had a chat. Amanda offered him a cup of tea, but he was distracted by the lady feeding her chooks across the road. Then while enjoying our cup of tea, a Burdekin council worker gave an insight to some great weather apps for up north. When the kid got up we had a picnic breakfast. We proceeded to back up the van and left Home hill at 9:00 to head to Townsville. Amanda drove the full hour and a half with the first tailwind of the trip. Our GPS didn't show the new overpass to Abbot street, but we managed. Amanda went through a hand held radar and a speeding camera. The GPS took us through the city center to our home for the next couple of nights at Rowes Bay caravan park. Amanda expertly backed the van into the site. We set up, we now have power and water for the first time. Ryan and Les went for a fish in Mindy creek. Ryan tried out his new cast net and Les lost one of Ryan's nice and expensive Barramundi lures. We then jumped in the car to find a Kmart for power boards and an electrical kettle. Got supplies for dinner and went back to the park. This is the third night Ryan has been able to find the Big Bash.
