Townsville Information
The northern city of Townsville sits at the centre of a beautiful and vibrant region that is rich in natural beauty. Rugged outback landscapes, verdant rainforests and magnificent coastlines surrounded by islands and reefs add up to an experience visitors will not soon forget. Magnetic Island sits just off the coastline and is near to the city, whilst to the west lies the outback and the Great Barrier Reef surrounds the coast.
Sugar cane and mango farming are among the main rural industries. Coastal towns and farming communities are dotted through the region and offer a taste of Australian life in the north.
The Townsville region's national parks are home to rare butterflies and birds, kangaroos, platypus and ancient trees. Many of these also boast beautiful waterfalls and swimming holes...exquisite areas that are reminiscent of a bygone era.
There is also a rich history in this region that has been shaped by Aboriginal tribes, miners, pastoralists and war. Remnants of these bygone times are still evident in the beautiful colonial architecture, historic pubs, museums and displays of old gold mining machinery and cottages.
