We checked out Mia's shop Retro 157 and all the curious things in it. The journey continued to downtown Townsville and the Strand. Reuben, Mia's seven year old son, played a football match and got a larger than usual crowd to cheer him on. He took this to heart and not only scored two goals but also got the best player award.

Curious to taste the local sports culture Niklas and I got tickets to the most popular team in town the rugby league team North Queensland Cowboys. We saw an exciting match where the locals appropriately came out of their run of bad form and crushed the visiting team from Sydney.
