An hour north of Townsville is Paluma Range National Park, the southernmost park in the Wet Tropics area, which teems with extraordinary scenery. Further north, Girringun National Park contains Wallaman Falls, Australia’s highest permanent single-drop waterfall.
Visit spectacular Great Barrier Reef islands in the Townsville region. Magnetic Island is simply that – magnetising. Just a 20-minute ferry ride from Townsville, it delivers gleaming beaches, secluded bays, and activities and wildlife aplenty.
Hinchinbrook Island, near Cardwell, melds wetlands, woodlands, beaches, and rainforest and its waters are home to dugongs and green turtles. Orpheus Island is another gem.
Townsville city basks in the glow of 300-plus days of sunshine and provides visitors with plentiful amenities and attractions. Irresistible beaches abound and the Strand is the ideal place to go – this buzzing beachfront promenade perfectly encapsulates the city’s appeal.
