This weekend Chris and I spent an enjoyable weekend in Normanton near the Gulf of Carpenteria.
However this was not to be a weekend off the swimming, we were up at 3.30am to swim 15k at our Strand Beach Townsville in our marine stinger proof net before setting off to the Townsville airport to catch a charter plane to Normanton. We were unsure what to expect of Normanton considering only a few weeks ago most of the town and all roads to Normanton were under flood waters.
Normanton and all NQ councils excelled themselves in making this a very enjoyable weekend for all nominees and their guests. This year i was selected runner up for my achievements in open water swimming during 2008.
Here are a few pictures from our weekend.
