TOWNSVILLE

Lifestyle

Townsville is a city that knows how to party! As the largest city in northern Australia, Townsville is host to world-class festivals drawing visitors from all corners of the globe.

Cultures from around the world unite in several Townsville celebrations. Music for all ages and tastes has a festival to call its own. Up goes a cheer for the city’s country roots at an international rodeo event.

And world-class sailing and fishing competitions are a regular feature on the sporting calendar.

With all that fresh seafood on their doorstep, and export-quality beef in the backyard, dining in Townsville is some of the best in the country. And after indulging in some gourmet delights, check out the North Queensland nightlife with a live band at the casino or dancing at a funky pub, bar or nightclub. While you’re out on the town ask about Townsville’s very own boutique beer.

Sporty types have so much to choose from with several national teams calling the sports-mad city home. Rugby League fans can catch the North Queensland Cowboys. Football fanatics can get their fix with the North Queensland Fury, and basketball buffs can cheer on the Townsville Crocodiles.
