Day 21 - Cairns to Townsville 350 Kms

We are now backtracking  the original course we were to follow before the onset of Cyclone Dylan.  That course would have taken us from Charters Towers to Townsville, to Ingham then to Innisfail, and then onto Cairns. The road is almost completely flat like the rest of Australia. The drive was aghast driven because when we left Cairns it was poring with rain. We had visited two galleries one of which was exhibiting Arthur Boyd. Yahoo (Jan). This very necessary indulgence meant we didn't get on the road before 11:00 am. As we passed several bridges the water was almost overflowing. Well this added some spice into the adventure. Would we be turned back? Well we made it to Townsville.

Well not before some bird tried to impede our progress. The bird hit the windscreen at 110 Kmp (what in the hell was that come from the Navigator, a bird I said, NO) The proof was in the spokes. 
                          
A small ceremony was held
 at this location
for the dearly departed.
         
           Unbelievable catch at 110 Kmph
