Why didn't anyone tell me about the BIG MANGO?

This is a serious question - I had never heard of it - till today - so I pulled in - took a picture - then scooted off again ,,,,
Rain again most of the day - finally got a break from a bit north of Bowen to Townsville - threatening low clouds in the west all the way and thunderstorm brewing here for tonight. It's not really that much hotter - but it is more humid - ahh - the tropics.

Just north of Bowen the road was cut northbound due to water - bit of a wait for traffic to get around using a traffic light system. Other areas had a lot of water beside the road - an added incentive to stay ON the road.


I think I have developed a hole in my exhaust system - I took off from Proserpine and thought - gee that vehicle beside me sounds like a hoon ,,, it is me - well the Subaru!!! Will see what it is like by the time I get to Cairns - otherwise all good.

Quiz question ... what is the floral emblem of Queensland?
Accommodation tonight - on The Strand, Townsville!! Plan to get a meal at the Sea View Hotel. So I am off there now for a well deserved cool one.

    Honestly I didn't know there was a 'BIG MANGO' either, must be because I have never driven that far, I flew to Cairns, glad you found it though and took a pic of it. You have done well to get so far and only have minor delays because of rain/roads. Ahh...so you have been hooning and didn't know it lol, well sounds like the good old Subaru has done a great job, guess hole in the exhaust can happen anytime. Quiz answer...Why the Cooktown Orchid, I am sure everyone knows that. Hope you enjoyed meal at Seaview Hotel and the cool one.
