We drove around a bit to get our bearings and look at a couple of beaches, then bought ourselves a kilo of prawns for lunch. It was really windy and extremely hot, so we didn't venture out a great deal and Rick had a swim in the pool. Besides, everything closed up at midday.
You may remember that Bowen was the location where the movie 'Australia' was filmed. There isn't anything left on the site that was set up to resemble Darwin.
On Sunday it was awfully hot and humid again, but at least the wind had died down a bit. There were markets on the parkland next door to the van park, so we went and had a look. We didn't stay long as it was way too hot.
After lunch we went for another drive and ended up at Flagstaff Hill lookout. We left there and went out to the Visitors Centre, but found there wasn't really a great deal to do around Bowen. We decided to give the local museum a miss as we've seen so many recently.
