Hi to all our friends and family so far the rain has stopped for a while but they are saying   there is more to come not just here in Townsville but further on up the top end of Australia 

 Near Darwin and all around that way.

They say it has broken up a lot of the roads we were going to travail on.

 With this Pat and I have decided not to go ahead with the trip.
 as we would only be stuck in some places

 or have to turn back with detours so we are staying here a bit longer in Townsville .

Then head back home stopping to see Bradley and Alison  again for a few days.

But we will try again next year all being well.

 Yes we are disappointed but best to save the money we saved for this trip till next time.

so we hope you will come back to follow us again next time.

 I will continue putting  in till we reach home
