2 days in Townsville Itinerary

Tucked snugly beneath a steep, craggy mount--known as Castle Hill--the vibrant city of Townsville is as picturesque as its backdrop.

Start off your visit on the 18th (Thu): step off the mainland to explore Museum of Tropical Queensland, then kick back and relax at The Strand, and then make a trip to Jezzine Barracks. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the next day: take in the exciting artwork at The Drill Hall Studio, then don't miss a visit to Riverway, and then look for all kinds of wild species at Billabong Sanctuary.
