nature, adventurous by design, Townsville is the laidback capital of North Queensland that’s full of surprises. Whatever your idea of holiday fun looks like, from stadium sports and events to wildlife watching, hiking or just straight-up luxury, Townsville’s got you covered. Majestically perched on the shores of the Coral Sea you can bounce to an island escape, dig into military history or dive in (literally) to left-of-centre art and culture. All this served up with a hearty side of North Queensland hospitality – and a crumbed steak if you’re lucky. Only in Townsville? Absolutely. Unbeatable fun?
