TOWNSVILLE

Townsville Home

Surrounded by a rich hinterland of tropical rainforests and waterfalls, Townsville is close to historic gold mining towns, the outback, islands, and of course, the Great Barrier Reef.

A couple of notable must-do's include viewing the city and Magnetic Island from Castle Hill and taking a sunset stroll along The Strand, Townsville’s beachfront promenade.

You can also organise many different types of trips and adventures in and around Townsville, from reef diving to tours of local national parks and the surrounding rural townships. You can even sign-up to join an outback cattle drive.
