Townsville

Lying on the shores of Cleveland Bay, between World Heritage rainforest and the central Great Barrier Reef, you’ll find Townsville – the unofficial capital of North Queensland – and an adventure destination often wrongfully overlooked.

Townsville is made for those who are up for the unexpected – the Explorers who are as comfortable below the ocean’s surface as they are on top of a mountain peering out over it.

An idyllic blend of city, country, and coast, Townsville has its own unique flavour that suits the curious Explorer juuuust right.

Off the coast of this region you’ll find two unmissable islands – Magnetic and Hinchinbrook. For gorgeous snorkelling and scuba diving, head to Magnetic Island. For a complete immersion into nature, Hinchinbrook & the four day Thorseborne Trail will spoil hikers rotten.
