Townsville

My Drive Holiday Destinations

From a bird's eye-view, Castle Hill looks like the face of Townsville; red rocks resembling that of a real mountain surrounding the city coastline. North of Townsville is an awesome expedition to the famous Magnetic Island. Lose yourself in the amazement of pine trees, rocky granite headlands, dramatic coastline, and white sandy beaches all tangled up in one place. The east features the Reef HQ, a coastal aquarium that offers visitors a window to the magnificent coral reefs underneath the Townsville sea. Wander west and you'll find the historical existence of The Outbacks. The southern part of the city, on the other hand, is a picturesque landmark of canes and mango farming communities. A safari trip to Billabong Sanctuary will lead you to the untamed wilderness of koalas, pythons and crocodiles. Every corner of Townsville offer countless opportunities for a self-drive holiday adventure!
