TOWNSVILLE [Paarl by die see]


Townsville is located on the tropical east coast of Australia 350km south of Cairns. They have it all here; beautiful clean uncrowded beaches, a military base, an airport, friendly people, a mountain, a working harbour and islands on the coast of which Magnetic Island is a well-known Resort.  It is near the Great Barrier Reef as well. The mountain reminds me of a place called Paarl [Pearl] in South Africa where I grew up but it was not located on the coast put in the Paarl Valley [wine country] amongst the mountains. There is this great rock where the town gets its name from that looks just like this mountain in Townsville.
