Day 8 - Townsville

Friday 13^th was our record breaking day – we traveled 914km finishing in Townsville. Our cold nights, outback, farmers and bombs are finished. It’s warm here even in the evenings, it’s full of tourists and locals drinking in the clubs, and it’s on the ocean with Great Barrier Reef just minutes away.

We have had the most comfortable sleep in all these days J The hostel was amazing and we had loads of fun watching four Italians trying to book a room in a hostel with all the private facilities and multiple other conditions for the hostel price range J

The Outback trip totaled 4,380km with 1,600km more left to Brisbane along the east coast. We have spent $1000 for fuel alone and another $500 for food and sleeps.

Our last day could easily be called “the bloody road” as we saw dead kangaroos every ten kilometers with crowds of crooks enjoying their fresh breakfast. The biggest town on the way was Julia Creek with 500 people J I finally started noticing Australian overweight problems, which was a bit of a surprise at the beginning.

And, of course, dressing style in the clubs is as ugly, as in the UK and Ireland. It’s funny to watch all these ladies…
