20 June 2017 - Townsville to Koumala (20 km south of Sarina)

It was a great morning to start our trip down the coast to Sarina.  We could not get a place to stay in Sarina, so we went a further 20km south to Koumala.  Our overnight stop is a small caravan park but it is clean and satisfies all our needs.

In all we travelled 445km today so the homeward bound tail wind is really behind us.  We wish we could say the say about the headwind. A 15-20 km/hr SE wind was in our faces the whole day.

We have not photographed the countless mountains we saw, the rivers or creeks we crossed, nor the many sugar mills we passed. However,  as per usual, there is always one that is a little bit different and for which you have to be lucky to get it.  Such was the case with the sugar train which crossed our path, fully laden and off to a sugar mill near Mackay. We think it might have been to Wilmar's Plane Creek Mill.

We do not know where we will alight tomorrow.  This is just part of the fun travelling without a full-blooded plan.
