Leaving home

11/05/2011 - Day 1
Well we are on the road at last. Here we are ready to go in the driveway. You can see the decimated mango tree that has held us up. (I think it looks like a giant curlew.)

We left yesterday afternoon on the 12.25 barge. The water was flat and it was a lovely trip to Townsville. Here we are waiting in the queue to get on the barge.

Driving onto the barge at Nelly Bay.

Farewell Nelly Bay.

Farewell our island home - see you in about 8 months.

We only made it as far as Reid River (Q280 in Camps Australia 6) last night because we didn't leave Townsville until 4:45.
