Sun 16th July Townsville Day 2 Megs Visit

Today its hop onto the scooters again and off to the markets in Flinders street mall. I grabbed some vegetables as they look nice and fresh while the girls chose bracelets from the usual market jewellery stall.

After dropping off the vegies we headed for Reef HQ which used to be an aquarium and a turtle rescue centre. I say used to be as when we got there it was closed and a sign informed us the occupants had been relocated and the whole building demolished and to be rebuilt. Further research said it should be completed by the end of 2023 however there was no sign of new work so looks like a lot longer yet.

Instead, we went to the Museum of Tropical Queensland, had a bite to eat at the café then viewed the dinosaur display and the HMS Pandora gallery. The best part of the museum was the interactive sciencentre room.

Back on Ovive, John minded the kids while Megs and I headed off to Coles on the scooters to buy groceries. It was a tricky trip back balancing all the groceries on the scooters. I think John was relieved to see us back.

Riley befriended Evie off the boat opposite us and they spent the rest of the afternoon looking for fish on the pontoon.

As it was Sunday we had roast chicken for dinner.
