Townsville

Laetitia's Creative Memories business has been hard work for her this year, not knowing many people in Mackay. She has made good friends with some of the other CM consultants having joined a group of 'exotics' (not originally from Mackay CMCs) run by Lynne Baillie who moved to Mackay from Brisbane in October last year.

We recently travelled to Townsville for some home classes. These were for a lady that Laetitia met in April at the Australian Gospel Music Festival.

We also did a little sight-seeing - Mt Stuart, Castle Rock, the OmniMax theatre, The Strand. Laetitia was quite startled by just how close Magnetic Island is to the mainland, particularly for such a mountainous island. All the islands off the Mackay regional coast are further out / smaller / flatter or not actually islands but low tide isthmuses.

Highly recommended: Masala Indian Restaurant on Palmer Street and the OmniMax theatre next to the aquarium. We saw a great movie about various forms of sea life narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet.

You can also see some of Ian's photos of Townsville.
