Townsville, Queensland, Australia
Friday, May 13, 1988

Spent the morning chasing around after somebody local who would let us use their printer to produce a letter and resume produced on the computer. By chance I came across a small shop 10 km from the caravan park that had a sign in its window declaring it to be 'your second office' and he duly printed the stuff. It turned out he had opened that day and I was his first customer!

Spent time cleaning and playing in the park with Brendan. Picked up mail from both grandparents, no packet from home. Lots of news and a present for Brendan.

The Great Barrier Reef display was having a 'two for the price of one' IMAX film night so we went to the six o'clock film about the reef which frightened Brendan on a number of occasions with the noise and loud sound -- not surprisingly since he hasn't even seen a standard size film before. Greg then stayed for the second film about the NASA space program. Both films were in Omnimax, shown on a huge dome screen surrounding you.
