Visit Stable on the Strand, Townsville 2012
For five days before Christmas, Townsville's major ocean-front area, Strand Park, will be transformed into the historic town of Bethlehem, complete with Roman soldiers, traditional craftspeople, livestock, shepherds and of course Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.
This interactive re-creation of the traditional Christmas story, Stable on the Strand, is a FREE event for the whole family. There will be lots of kid's activities to keep little ones busy as well as a special area for youth to hang out.
Come and enjoy the ambiance of Bethlehem 2000 years ago, and be sure to enjoy a complimentary slice of fruitcake and cuppa to sustain you through all of the fun.
