Visit Townsville Qld
Townsville combines the lure of the tropics with the attractions of a major city. From diving in the Great Barrier Reef, rafting white water rapids or simply lazing on golden beaches, Townsville offers the best of all worlds.
 Located in North Queensland's 'dry tropics', Townsville and Magnetic Island boast an average of 300 days of sunshine each year. Combining this glorious sunshine with a relaxed lifestyle and a diversity of attractions, Townsville is the perfect choice for a North Queensland holiday experience.
The city is the perfect stepping-off point to experience the wonders of the region - the outback, rainforests, magnificent waterfalls, tropical islands and of course, the Great Barrier Reef.
 Townsville's many attractions include Reef HQ – the world's largest living coral reef aquarium, Billabong Sanctuary – an Australian native wildlife sanctuary, the Museum of Tropical Queensland with the interactive displays of the HMS Pandora, the spectacular Strand beachfront promenade, art galleries, museums, parks and restaurants.
Townsville is also one of Queensland's premier event destinations, with an exciting annual line up of sporting, aquatic, historical and cultural events.
Using Townsville as a holiday base, visitors can experience the natural wonders of the diverse North Queensland region through the availability of day tours, cruises or adventure excursions – all operating out of the city.
