Frequently Asked Questions
In the port, two kilometres from the city centre. On call days shuttles usually run the connection and taxis fill the gap; strong walkers can reach the centre on foot in about thirty minutes.
A pink granite monolith of nearly 300 metres standing in the middle of the city, a landmark for everyone. The energetic tackle the goat track, the steep footpath; others go up by taxi on the scenic road.
The street grid below, Cleveland Bay, the dry hills of the hinterland and, on a clear day, the whole chain of islands offshore. Bring water and a hat: the sun here does not joke.
A seaside promenade of a good two kilometres, shaded by figs and palms, where you meet the city going about its day: families picnicking, swimmers in the netted pool, joggers and anglers on the jetty. The view opens onto Magnetic Island, a few kilometres offshore.
The story of HMS Pandora, the ship sent by the British Admiralty to capture the Bounty mutineers, which sank on the Great Barrier Reef in 1791. Cannon, shipboard objects and personal effects raised from the wreck form one of Australia's richest underwater archaeology collections.
Yes, the ferry takes about twenty minutes from the city centre terminal. More than half of this granite island is national park. A few hours allow a swim and a walk, provided you watch the return times.
Yes, on Magnetic Island: wild koalas doze in the branches along the Forts Walk, built during the Second World War. It's one of the best chances to see them in the wild on the Queensland coast.
The shuttle into town, The Strand and its swimming enclosure, the Museum of Tropical Queensland and Flinders Street, then Castle Hill by taxi. Magnetic Island needs a longer call.
More than 300 days of sunshine a year: the largest city in the Australian tropics receives visitors in clear, near-guaranteed light. The trade-off is an intense sun, which makes a hat and water essential.
Victorian facades from the boom years of the gold rush, when Townsville was the gateway to the inland goldfields. The street lies a block back from the sea, minutes from The Strand.
