Townsville

Not sure what zizi is in Italian, but in French it's impolite.
We have no idea, so the following day we walk into town, a 4km feat that the kids manage, with a big milk shake at half way. There is the old Central Station, a marvellously handsome building, with the old tracks turned into a pedestrian trail. How good would it be to follow a path here into town? The station is well preserved with some info panels. 



Who knew that Townsville got bombed during WW2? The Coral Sea touches here. It is the turning point of the war. The Anzac Park lists all the American ships that went down during that battle. Without yank involvement, we would have all been in very big trouble.
The best use for a parking spot.


The old architecture is so beautiful you could cry. The Event cinema makes me cry.



We find the water park on the Strand. It's a hit. Ollie cries "This is awesome!"



The water park on the Strand - awesome!!
