We thoroughly enjoyed our 2014 Townsville Adventure and are really pleased that we could add our memories and photos to our Shorty’s RV Adventures blog. Having our adventures recorded in this way does make it so easy to track back and relive the great times we have had on our RV adventures.
On all our adventures we have been to some wonderful new places, revisited some places we have been to before, made some great new friends, have seen some magical scenery, have endured good and bad weather, and have generally had a great time.
Our 2014 Townsville Adventure was special in part because we were joined by our daughter Katie and her partner Mick, and our son Phil and his wife Tracey and daughters Alex and Emily, who were all able to spend some precious family time with us in Townsville. We also unexpectedly caught up with Ann’s brother Kevin and his wife Lynn (again in Townsville). We also unexpectedly caught up with fellow Trailblazer adventurer Frosty in Sapphire; our friends Neville and Mary at Maloolooba; and friends Joe and Denise in Euroa. Plus we were again able to spend time with long time travelling friends David and Faye in Maroochydore.
