Townsville
Start typing to see suggestions or browse Australia
Boasting an average of 320 days of sunshine each year Townsville combines the lure of the tropics with the attractions of a major city. From diving in the Great Barrier Reef off Magnetic Island, rafting white water rapids or simply lazing on golden beaches - Townsville offers it all.
Magnetic Island is the Island playground of Townsville featuring prominently in the profile of the city. The Island is only 20 minutes from the city centre by regular fast cat ferries.
Two thirds of Magnetic Island is made up of the Magnetic Island National Park with secluded but easily accessible bays and golden beaches. The island has nearly 25 kilometres of walking tracks meandering through the protected national parks that are home to stands of eucalyptus and wildlife including koalas.
Using Townsville as a holiday base, visitors can experience the natural wonders of the diverse North Queensland Region through the availability of day tours, cruises or adventure excursions - all operating out of this exciting city.Photos
