Attractions around Townsville

Townsville is dominated by the back drop of rugged Castle Hill, framed by Cleveland Bay and the award winning Strand beach front recreation area, with Magnetic Island a stones throw across the bay.

You can enjoy a trip to the outer Great Barrier Reef one day, Magnetic Island another. The bulk of the island is National Park land with many walking trails and lots of opportunity to spot a Koala.

Castle Hill dominates Townsville with the city built around its base, it is a dramatic backdrop to the city and offers great walking tracks for the energetic and magnificent panoramic views.
