We had a bit of a lazy old sleep in at Mission Beach.  Kel & Blake wandered over to the Sunday market across the road and came back with the usual stuff.  Nothing too spectacular…

Hannah was up early and having a play with Risa.  They were both in the pool before breakfast.  You’d think she’d work up an appetite, but she still ate breakfast like a mouse.

We only had a short drive today, but man oh man the drive was a boring one.  Pretty featureless territory between Mission Beach and Townsville.

It was a good day for us though as we finally got to see our house in Townsville.  We built it four years ago and, as luck would have it, we’re in between tenants at the moment … so rather than just do an inspection, we decided to move in.  Well … at least camp in the driveway for 2 nights.  Dunno what the neighbours think … and don’t really care, we’ll be outta here in 2 days.

The neighbourhood is super quiet.  Hardly any traffic down the street at all … except for the Mr. Whippy van.

After we got setup we went and had a look around Townsville.  They’ve got a free waterpark there too … but the kids were TOO BORED to go in and get wet.  I think we’ve been on holiday too long!

Sleeping in the driveway was pretty uneventful … until 3:30am.  That’s when the sprinkler system decided to turn on and sprayed the van from all angles and gave us a heart attack.

Getting a good nights sleep can be a difficult exercise at times. Cows, Cassowary’s, Sprinklers…
