However, the city is even more than a magnetic destination, it's the very heart of life in the tropics extending north to Mission Beach south to the Burdekin and west to historic Charters Towers.
Surrounded by a rich hinterland of tropical rainforests and waterfalls, Townsville is also close to historic gold mining towns, the outback, islands, and of course, the Great Barrier Reef.
The town itself provides a snapshot of all these local features, with its world renowned Reef HQ, the world's largest living coral reef aquarium, the Billabong Sanctuary, where you can learn all about Australia's fascinating native wildlife, and many other cultural and heritage attractions like the Brolga Dreaming Aboriginal Centre.
