Percy Isles are part of the Northumberland Islands which are located south-east of Mackay, off the Queensland Coast of Australia. They can only be reached by private boat (no ferries). The island has abundant maritime history and a long tradition of welcoming cruisers. Cruisers are welcome ashore and there is a fabulous place for all to gather, chat, share sundowners or a BBQ with fellow travellers. The large A-frame structure on the beach has a few basic facilities including chairs and tables. There is lighting powered by solar panels and an information area were you can purchase the local produce. Nearby there is a BBQ, fire pit, shower and toilet.
We are always on the look out for street art when we are visiting a new city; not only is it a fun FREE ‘thing to do’ but it is a great way to experience a cities sights, sounds and life in general.
There is so much to do in Townsville, and better still there is a lot to do that is free, yep that’s what I said FREE! There is military history to explore, as well as, indigenous, civic and the history of Townsville women, to name but a small piece of Townsville history. The Strand has a water playground and there is a free swimming pool. Art galleries, street art, a free movie night and plenty of walking trails.
Townsville has embraced the street art mania that is spreading through cities worldwide! It has a vibrant street art atmosphere with stunning art and huge wall murals.
Street art has come along way from simply being graffiti, tags and the like. Most cities now boast some form of street art, many having beautiful wall murals. This popular form of artistic expression has become increasingly popular.

We were not sure what to expect from visiting the “City of Adelaide” and came away from our visit marvelling, not only at the clippers colourful history, but at the structure of the ship and the extraordinary time in which it was made.
When you walk into the museum’s main hangar and see the aircraft you’ll know what I mean. What a display! There is over 100 years of aviation history to explore and I think you’ll love every minute of it! Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or historian; a child seeking to enjoy the day out with mum and dad…. or simply a parent attempting to entertain the kids, this museum is for you.
