^ Statue of Jesus at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Townsville. The cathedral looks down over the city and has a somewhat imposing position on a hill. Was quite pretty, althoug the view's nowhere near as good as the ones you get from Castle Hill.
^ More of Sacred Heart.
^ The view of Magnetic Island from Castle Hill. The afternoon we were up there was perfect (albeit hot and humid), with wonderful clouds and things weren't too hazy. Although a little kid who was up there with her parents apparently didn't like being up there and was crying loudly about how hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh it was and how she wanted to go hooooooome, while clinging to the post of a pergola thing.
^ The T&G building, which looked in a rather sad state.
^ Another photo of The Strand. It was really gorgeous there, although you couldn't go swimming where you felt like it. If you wanted to go for a dip, there were special net areas to swim in to protect you from stingers. At other beaches in the area, there were signs about what to do and how to apply CPR if someone gets stung, along with a bottle of vinegar to pour on the wounds. Which is probably more socially acceptable than peeing on anyone who's been stung.
