Description

A scenic coastal park close to Townsville, Cape Pallarenda is the site of a former quarantine station dating from 1915. The buildings are typical Queenslander style; with high ceilings and wide verandahs. The park features ruins and relics from World War II, when the cape was part of Australia's east coast defences. Stroll through the old quarantine station and imagine life in a bygone era. Visit the small historical display and gain an insight into the history of the area. Walk along the beaches and over the rugged headland to take in sweeping views of Townsville and Magnetic Island. Inspect the World War II gun emplacements and searchlight positions. Enjoy a picnic or barbecue on the foreshore.
