Two Hour Ride

Leisurely ride that is.  We toured the Strand at a slow pace this morning then turned around for a coffee stop at the Rockpool Pavilion.  There are stiff cool  breezes blowing here so it can get cold even though it is 24°.  This is where the freebie public pool is.  We walked up to Kissing Point Fort where there are extensive views and an artwork trail.  This turned a corner round a bluff and got us out of the wind.  There is still a working army barracks next to the historic stilt barrack buildings.  The art works are modern and there must be 50 of them. We stopped at quite a few and found our way back to the Rockpool via a history path which has plaques embedded in the track telling the history of Townsville.  The area is also hosting a freebie Arts Festival which we may check into tonight.
