Just a short stop in Townsville to meet up with Aidan, the son of Austin’s cousin Beverly. Aidan is in his third year of studying pharmacy. This was the first time we actually met Aidan, and we instantly liked him.
Astonishing how the city has changed since we were there 38 years ago! Most of Australias military is conglomerated in Townsville.
The town has probably quadrupled in seize.
We were lucky that the 2017 “Ephemera”, an exhibition of sculptures along “The Strand”, was in town. Here are some of what we saw:
Above is real - not part of the expo!!! Needless to say, we didn’t go for a dip!
Below section of the beach must be considered safe - between the flags!!!- In spite of the stinger warning right in the middle!
