View from where I am now sitting using the Internet.
The bank opposite is where the resident crocodile likes to sun when there are not so many people around. He was there yesterday but I missed him.
The river is rich with fish and this is a very popular fishing place as well as a place where locals and visitors from as far as Townsville come for a day out or simply to enjoy a fresh fish dinner, at a very reasonable cost, at Fishermans Landing.

Balgal Beach Boatramp
Balgal Beach
Beautiful Beach north of Townsville marred only by the sandflies who have feasted on my body every morning and evening while I enjoy the the sunrise and sunset. Even now, I am being eaten alive while I type this at the Cafe Outside area.
I am at a 48 hour Council Caravan Park right on the beach and enjoying the quiet and the peace and beauty.
Balgal Beach is a beachside community popular as a day and overnight trip destination for locals and tourists to Thuringowa and Townsville. Just a few minutes from Rollingstone, Balgal Beach features a stinger net, which is installed and patrolled from November to May, and an excellent boat ramp facility with easy access to the Palm Island group. It boasts a superb sand beach as well as a wide creek mouth and is a renowned beach and river fishing location.
Other activities include visiting the Anzac memorial, viewing the interpretive historic signage, having a picnic and barbecue at the park, bird watching and fishing.
There is also a licensed cafe and a variety of accommodation which includes Holiday Units, Bed and Breakfast Retreat, and Council's two designated limited tent camping and vehicle camping areas. Download the flyer from their websites for more information on free camping.
