A peaceful place.

Down near The Strand in Townsville is the Marina then behind me is a large lawn area where the Cenotaph is.  'Tis a beautiful area.

There were children playing here with the boys climbing up these old trees.

At the Caravan Park in Ayr, Qld.

Stayed at Ayr in Q'ld at the Council Caravan Park for a couple of nights before heading further north.
The weather wasn't the best but at least it wasn't cold for winter, by now we are in summer clothing, the temperature was 18 deg C one day and 29 deg C the next. Ok for winter.

On the way to Ayr there were many Cane fields. This photo was taken whilst the vehicle was moving and my phone was used.

A map from Tasmania, Australia to Ayr in Q'ld and it gives some idea how far we are from home. We went a little more inland in places on this map thus making the mileage further.

Upon arriving and after settling in I wandered off to take some photos inside the park itself.

Know to me as the 'Flame Tree' and it's prominent in many places in the north, stands out amid the other trees.

Very old type of ficus roots.

A common flower to see also, a Hibiscus.

Can't recall the name of this one.  Recall it's grown inside in Tasmania.

These two are also grown inside in Tasmania - but of course indoor plants are not popular at this time and haven't been for several years.

On the way to Moora, Western Australia

Left Geraldton called into Port Denison, travelled to Dongara, went through Eneeabba onto Moora which is located 177 km north of Perth in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

Because it was colder down south Perth way, we decided to cut across Western Australia.

Photos are some of the things we saw that day.

 Dongara, WA. Ficus Tree

Where the fly in, fly out miners live at Eneabba.

Do not know what this red flower is called.

Banksia past it's best.

Lovely to see farm buildings.

Taken as we travelled.  Canola and Wheat

Hence we have the beginning of the Wheat Belt in Western Australia.

The map shows which way we came down from Geraldton to Moora - next post.

Noosa area!

Have returned home some thousands of kms after crossing the sea from one shore to another.

Whilst up in the sub-tropics we visited Noosa and around that area. The whole area is cluttered with losts of round a bouts, the main beach is small there are far nicer beaches south of Noosa.

Called into Peregian Beach, Qld, and it's a lovely beach at that.

A large Ficus Tree near the above, pleasant picnic area.
