It's getting fuzzy.

I'm not sure when it started but things have become a little fuzzy in recent days, or is it weeks. Maybe tropical Queensland does something strange to your brain or is it just me?
Hervey Bay seemed like a real holiday where we really kicked back and didn't try to do or see too much.

We headed further north as has been the recent trend and stopped at Agnes Water for a couple of days. We had read that it is Australia's northern most surfing beach. Well a fat lot of good that was. As has been the general pattern, the surf was hopeless so my board will come home with me from Cairns. The last decent surf I saw was at Werri Beach when I was home in April. Another good reason to complete the lap and head home later in the year..
Thankfully, Agnes Water has other redeeming features and we were fortunate enough to enjoy a magic day on Lady Musgrave Island. I am pretty sure it is one of the islands visited by the Wishy/ Hyslop/Phipps etc. bus back in the late 70's, early 80's and I can see why they came back with some amazing tales. It was a real highlight for us all. That is, after the turbulent journey to the island. Approximately half of the one hundred passengers couldn't keep their brekky down. Half of our crew joined in the fun. Names withheld.

The turtles were incredible.

Our aim was to travel from Agnes Water to Cape Hillsborough in two days. However, we decided to continue on to our destination in the one day and spend some extra time there. Cape Hillsborough is a touch North East of Mackay and came highly recommended. It didn't disappoint, although the weather was not too flash. The other thing which throws you is the Marine Stingers. This beautiful tropical beach and they tell you to swim at your own risk. Alison is pretty risk averse so we stuck to the pool. Some lovely bush walks were right at our doorstep.

Nearly there.

I'm not much of a Harry Butler but I do like the butterflies.

Now we are in Townsville and will head towards Cairns tomorrow. We hope to take in some of the creeks, waterholes and waterfalls along the way. 

While in Townsville, we enjoyed a nice day on Magnetic Island. We even managed to run into Kac Medenis and her boys which was a nice surprise. Kac is living on Magnetic Island. It was especially fun to meet her new addition Elias with the girls all enjoying some lovely cuddles.

Maybe heading home for a few days work might clear up the fuzzy, vague feeling. Maybe not.
