I find a trip into town with one of my birds or my dog to be the best way to do that. Townsville has several attractions but the one people enjoy the most is The Strand. If you click on the link there is a cool history of The Strand but in short, it's a beachfront walkway with activities and amenities like gas grills and water play parks and a rock pool swimming hole. There's the surf lifesaving club that not only helps monitor the beaches for everything from sharks to stingers (potentially lethal box jellyfish) or even crocodiles but also puts on open mic night and other fun events. There is a full moon drum circle every month and heaps of other activities.
I often enjoy the little cafes, bars and restaurants that line the beach, offering you a nice meal and a cocktail or two with a gorgeous view!
I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world so I might as well enjoy it! The following are pictures of some of my lazy days on the strand.
Soaking up the sun and then the sunset at the marina.

Oooh a American-owned buffalo wing joint? Sounds like a fun way to live expat life in Australia! Also, those cocktails look fab. What a beautiful landscape to imbibe in!
