Alva, Ayr, Home Hill, Inkerman Lookout and Proserpine.

Time to leave Townsville.

Down to Ayr and a short detour to check out Alva on the coast. At Home Hill went swimming in the council pool. I was the only swimmer that afternoon. 50m pool not so cold but the showers were. Nice facility for a small town. Stopped for the night at the rest stop near the railway station. Watched the NRL State of Origin on the Internet.

Next morning away early before the rabble to relocated to Inkerman Lookout about 20km south, breakfast and photos. Burdekin snow everywhere. Must have been several burns last night, more this morning.

Drove into Airlie Beach. Nearly 40 years since last there. WOW busy! Not a place for me. On to Proserpine for a swim in their council pool. Lovely facility. 50m pool just a touch warmer than cold, perfect in fact. Hot shower, nice. Then on to Bloomsbury BP, back of the servo for the night.
