This morning we had another look around Charters Towers and then headed off towards Emerald. We were very excited about the idea of prospecting for saphires but it was short lived. Of course we came up north in the wet season and it is finally becomming wet! So on the road to Emerald we came accross a road closure. We had two options, go back to Townsville or wade it out to see if it opened in the next day or two, running the risk of being stuck in Charters Towers until the water subsided. So off we went to Townsville, our inland trip cancelled but oh well. It was a good little adventure :)
So we went through Ayr and then stopped at Bowen. We have decided to stay a few nights here because apparently there are some good walking trails (if we decide to take the healthy option) and great fishing. So we will see how we go. It is windy and rainy here at the moment but hopefully it will subside tommorow. Chris still made the most of the afternoon playing in the Bowen Bowl :)
