With the idyllic paradise of Magnetic Island right on the doorstep, it’s not hard to see why people are attracted 

to Townsville. 

 

With an eclectic mix of rainforest, reef, sandy beaches, outback and big city benefits, Townsville has something for every itinerary. 

 

The city is more than a tropical destination - it’s the very heart of life in the tropics - with the region extending north to captivating Mission Beach, south to the rustic Burdekin and west to historic Charters Towers.

 

The city has continued to evolve without losing its laidback and vibrant lifestyle. Shorts and T-shirts are the core of the local wardrobe. Little wonder considering the city’s 180,000 residents enjoy 300 days of sunshine each year. The months between April and September are the most popular time to visit because in these months the city’s entertainment and events are in overdrive, with spectator sports, food and music festivals.

 

Local Transport / Getting Around

Within the Townsville city centre, there are several transport options, including the Sunbus Redbus city loop services which connect all the inner city precincts. There is an abundance of taxis, an airport shuttle and frequent bus services which connect the inner city to the suburban areas.
