Good time of year to visit your granddaughter in Townsville.  Does she have a dog there?  Have you visited beautiful Magnetic Island?  The last koala I saw in the wild in Queensland was on Magnetic Island.  Enjoy your visit.

My mother was in the Air Force during WW2, and she was posted to Townsville.  She loved Magnetic Island.🍷

We lived in Townsville for the first eight years after we arrived in Australia.

It was good to us during those eight years.

But we moved to South of Brisbane due to work.

Townsvegas would have been a shock temp wise, heat and humidity most of year. Arrived from UK? Buy place now is Townsville.  I could live here but too hot and humid most of year.

What is his name?  Hope you are getting lots of Attention from the dog. 

Her, Sage. Well behaved as her boss is a vet, if she plays up she might get an injection she might not like, lol.

That's quite a change of temperature

It was enchanting.  Street vendors and the aroma of their roasted chestnuts.  It was a stop on our way to skiing in the magnificent Dolomites, and visiting our extended family in Friuli, our second home💜💜

That is a lovely name.  I'm not surprised she is well behaved as her family has had experience with dogs.  She must be enjoying the extra company,
