Default Townsville: Some more pics
About 25 mins out of Townsville you can swim in cool (but not too cold!), fresh water watering hole with fish & turtles in a National Park. It is called Alligator Creek. Some kids were going down the small rapids on tyre inner tubes. It was a busy day when we went...

Looks very nice,but may be worth asking why it is called Alligator Creek.

Don't care how beautiful it looks or how fab the water is, it's called Alligator Creek for a very good reason presumably. You wouldn't catch me there. Not sure they can tell the difference between turtles and humans.

Cracking pics though

Thanks guys. No lifeguards @ Alligator Ck, I'm afraid but more importantly no alligators in Australia! This inland watering hole is croc-free too.

Default Wunjunga nr Townsville
Wunjunga is about 1.5 hrs south of Townsville. We visited a friend who has a beach hut there. Great time had by all. The weather is becoming more settled now the wet season is coming to an end. Stinger season is over in 6 weeks.

Full-size pics & more here:

I can't take credit for the last two pics. My 10 year old daughter, Katy, insisted we stop the car on the way home & hopped out...
