The Area: Townsville, QLD
The vibrant city of Townsville offers the ultimate tropical north Queensland adventure, with white-sand beaches and colourful coral reefs to the east and rainforest, wetlands and the wilds of the outback to the west. With Magnetic Island lying just offshore, there is plenty to do in Townsville from strolling through the long beachfront gardens of the Strand, to picnicking in the Riverway parkland.
Known as “Maggie” to the locals, Magnetic Island is a national park-covered isle just a few kilometres offshore from Townville. A popular spot for tourists and locals alike, the destination offers sailing, diving and snorkelling experiences along with nature walks to spot the local flora and fauna. Take a sea kayak tour around the island to learn its secrets, lap up the sun and get hearts beating all at once.
Families head to Riverway for all-ages fun, whether it’s a dip in the swimming lagoons, stroll through the cultural centre or coffee in a buzzing café. Hit up one of a handful of beaches, creeks and swimming holes for a true tropical north Queensland experience, following dips up with a wander through lush rainforest. On selected days of the week, travellers can bring back trinkets and treasures from their time in the city at a market – try Cotters Markets, Willows Markets or Showgrounds Markets.
