In late March I was fortunate enough to travel for work. Townsville in northern Queensland was one of the towns I got to visit. I couldn't help but have a meal and a beer at the Cowboys Rugby League Club.

Darwin was especially interesting as it was my first visit into the Northern Territory. Here I spotted the ABC studios and the remoteness of the place was typified by the size of the satellite dish.

Mackay was also on the agenda. This the view of the marina from the hotel.
