From the awe-inspiring Great Barrier Reef to the verdant beauty of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, Townsville is the perfect location from which to explore the far north of Queensland. Located 350 kilometres south of Cairns, this coastal city boasts almost constant sunshine and tends to be much drier than other parts of the state. In winter, the pleasant south-east trade winds are refreshing, but it gets very hot in summer, although dramatic electrical thunderstorms help cool things down.
Townsville: city layout
The striking red granite monolith of Castle Hill overlooks Townsville and makes a striking contrast to the azure blue waters of Cleveland Bay. Eight kilometres offshore is the very popular holiday destination of Magnetic Island, known locally as Maggie – a large rocky island with 2,000 permanent residents, a national park and plenty of places to stay.
The Ross River flows through the centre of town. Flinders Street in the CBD (Central Business District) is the city’s main thoroughfare. The best restaurants, bars and shops tend to be around Palmer Street and Gregory Street, positioned on either side of the Ross River.
A 15-minute stroll from the CBD is the Strand, a two-kilometre long beachfront promenade with recreation areas, a water park and a nice selection of picnic spots and restaurants where you can eat alfresco by the ocean. A short drive to the north of Townsville are the Northern Beaches and the Paluma Range National Park.
