Our aim today was to get up to Innisfail where we would see Dwayne's parents, our Nanny and Poppy.
We drove to Townsville for a stop for a picnic lunch and a swim at the Lagoons near the Ross River. We met up with Dwayne's brother and family who live in Townsville and spent a few hours with them. It was a great break in the drive and lovely to catch up with more family.
We continued our travelling north in the late afternoon and arrived in Innisfail (just south of Cairns) about 7.30pm after meeting up with some heavy rain along the way, to a very excited Nanny and Poppy! And just as Nanny promised, she left the Christmas lights and Tree up for us to celebrate a second little Christmas day the following morning!
Our plan is to stay around until Easter here, using it to spend time with our family, as a base to explore more of Far North Qld, and to maybe even meet our newest member of our extended family - a new niece or nephew being due in early April in Townsville.
And although we don't mind the rain, we are hoping and praying we won't have to deal with any cyclones in Captain Slow!
