We left Charters Towers on Friday and took a longer and more scenic route back to Townsville via the Herveys Range Development Road. We didn't stay in Townsville this time, but continued on down the coast.
We drove into Ayr and caught up with grocery shopping and also bought a
new camp chair and small table. A but further south of Ayr we turned
off the highway for 15kms to head toward the coast and into a $5/night
camp called 'Funny Dunny'. We're not sure where the name came from as
the dunny wasn't very funny at all ... in fact it was 'orrible.
Fortunately, we have our own on board. At least it was a bit cooler
than at Charters Towers, but still quite muggy all the same. We walked
the short distance to the beach and found it was a bit disappointing, as
a lot of the beaches in Queensland have been. We returned to the van
and played a few games.
