Lovely description of the Townsville area.

Thanks for the whistle-stop tour of your home city. What a beautiful spot. Have you always lived there?

What a wonderful place you live in. It all looks fresh and airy.
I remember the blog you wrote about the boulevard. I enjoyed that too.

Yes thanks all - it is a lovely spot.

Derekf - how did you know about Rattlesnake Island? Have you visited? I'm rather intrigued!

Claireinbude - no I haven't always lived here. I grew up in a small town further south which was surrounded by beaches. But I moved to this city to finish off my schooling and have been here ever since ...except for a short time when I lived down in our capital city, Brisbane, a few years back.

Heather - I'm also intrigued that you know the name of my city. I didn't mention it in the blog, so I'm guessing that you've been here or maybe live somewhere here in Oz?

Hywel - glad you saw the other blog ... I just love the Strand area of my city - I try to get down there as often as possible just to sit and stare at the ocean!

Wow! To have such beautiful views so close to where you live~ Lucky you!! Thanks for the pictures and the tour~~ Lisa :)

I hav freend in Brisbane- i visit in 2001, and fly GBR -see RI from air-the name just stikwhit me.

You're most welcome Lisa ... it is a lovely spot and your'e quite right - we do have some lovely views.

Derekf - ah that explains it. Yes it's not easy to forget a name like Rattlesnake Island.

A beautiful place to live, all that wonderfil scenery and those blue, blue skies, you are indeed fortuante!

Thanks Pansypotter - yes we get a lot of blue-sky days here ... we average around 300 fine sunny days every year.

Lovely pics Bernieh, you are lucky! I'm stuck at work and feel even colder after looking at them. It's hard to imagine 300 sunny days a year..
My partner Derek comes from Nelsons Bay outside Sydney.We would like to visit his parents soon and get married there.

What a wonderful place to live .Second photo looks like your on top of the world looking down ...Fab Bernieh

Annella - if you do make it downunder you'll certainly be visiting a great corner of Oz ... Sydney and it surrounds is a fantastic spot.

Thanks Mushy ... that second photo was taken from the 'Red Baron' seaplane which does tours around our city and over to Magnetic Island. I don't know if you ever saw the first Phantom movie with Billy Zane and Catherine Zeta-Jones ... but if you did you would remember the bright red sea plane from that movie.

That sounds fantastic (-:

Beautiful pictures Bernieh.Last January,my daughter and her best friend spent a month in Oz,as wanted to do something special before hitting 30,and settling down.Started in Brisbane,then up to Airlie beach,whit sunday Island,Hervey bay,Fraser island ,sydney,coogee bay,then onto Perth .Visited some lovely places,including the late Steve Irwin's zoo.Wonderful country.
We have a place called Castle hill here in our town too,but not as majestic as yours,but a lovely viewing place.Thank you for showing your home town.

Thanks for the tour =^..^=

Bloomer - your daughter certainly got to see lots of great spots ... Airlie and the Whitsundays are just drop dead gorgeous places. Our Castle Hill is exactly that ... it's a regularly viewing spot as it gives views to every corner of our region. Glad you enjoyed the photos.

You're most welcome Healerwitch!

Lovely place where you live, Bernieh! :-)

Your photo of the sunrise is absolutely stunning! For a second I thought it was a volcanic eruption!!!

There is a place called "Castle Hill" as well. It's just a little bump over the river where a Norman castle was built but it was destroyed a few years after it was built & nothing was ever built in its place. Later a beacon was built there as part of the defence chain spanning the whole country. Today a replica of the beacon stands there.

Glad you enjoyed the blog Balcony. Yes I was rather pleased with my sunrise shot - it was taken on top of Castle Hill ... great place to be as the sun's coming up. Sounds like Castle Hill is a popular place name - both Bloomer and yourself know of a place named that. Our Castle Hill never had a castle on it though ... nothing so grand as that around here.

Enjoyed the visit to your corner of the world Bernieh it’s beautiful :0)

Thanks Sueb - glad you enjoyed the visit.
