All about Townsville
Located around 350 kilometres south of Cairns in Queensland, Townsville is a coastal city featuring a two-kilometre esplanade and water park plus a wide array of attractions for all ages. The city is home to five beaches where you can swim, surf, enjoy the water sports on offer, or simply lie back and enjoy the golden sands.
As one of the biggest cities in Northern Queensland, Townsville is home to a lovely beachfront promenade, and a bustling CBD with charming cafes, upscale eateries, and trendy bars. Townsville also offers an array of museums, from the Museum of Tropical Queensland featuring interesting archaeology exhibits to the Townsville Museum which takes visitors through the history of this vibrant city from colonial settlement to vibrant port city.
Townsville offers easy access to the Great Barrier Reef, where you can explore one of the world’s largest coral reefs and see countless marine animals, like manta rays and green turtles. You can also hop on one of the frequent ferries to visit the nearby Magnetic Island where you can hike, swim, or snorkel.
What are the top things to do in Townsville?
Magnetic Island
With more than 23 bays and the Magnetic Island National Park, Magnetic Island features stunning palm-fringed beaches with nearby coral reefs, and boulder strewn headlands dotted with hoop pines. Understandably, it is a popular spot for hiking, swimming, and scuba diving. As you meander your way along the pristine walking paths, you can also spot many different types of wildlife including koalas and wallabies. Located just eight kilometres off of the shores of Townsville, the island is accessible by ferry which takes anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes.
Castle Hill
As one of Townsville’s most famous features, Castle Hill is a beautiful pink, granite monolith located right in the centre of the city. It rises dramatically above the city’s skyline and creates a colorful contrast when viewed against a clear blue sky. There are many viewpoints offering expansive views from the top of the hill that you can drive or hike up to. Although it takes around 30-minutes to reach the top of the monolith, the views of the Townsville coastline along the way make it worth the effort.
Perc Tucker Regional Gallery
Located within one of Townsville’s best preserved historic buildings, the gallery features both national and international exhibitions and often displays artwork created by North Queensland artists. With more than 2,000 works of art within its collection, it is one of the largest art museums in the area.
