I managed to meet up with Bill 12 here in Down Town Townsville before he and his trusted steed (motor bike) disappeared into the water ways between the mainland and Magnetic Island. It was nice to catch up Bill hope we can do it again but for longer. Looking forward to those photo's we talked about.
