Best Places to visit in Townsville

Pretending to hike up Castle Hill:
The nice thing about this "hike" is that it's actually a very easy walk up a paved road. Granted, you might feel a bit silly pretending to be a hiker as you hike a hill, but at least you can do it without having to pack any gear or stop for supplies along the way! And the view from the top? Well, it's a pretty nice view of Townsville.
Swimming in Bowling Green Bay National Park:
This coastal national park is a great way to spend a sunny day. There are lots of places to swim, picnic, and even camp for the night if you feel like roughing it.
Getting lost around Magnetic Island:
Townsville isn't all that big, and there's a lot to see. Why not take your time and wander around for a few days? You might even learn something new! Not to mention you can really get some great exercise walking up and down the hills.
Playing with the puppies at the RSPCA:
If you love dogs, this is the place to go. Puppies galore! You can even help out by taking them on a few walks or playing with them for a while.
Chowing down at City Lane:
Do you love to eat a lot? Townsville has so many great food options. There are a lot of good places to eat, including dinner at City Lane. There are a lot of different food options in this alley that has been turned into a restaurant.
Hanging out with the locals at the Billabong Sanctuary:
At the Billabong Sanctuary, you can learn about Australian animals. You can pet a wombat there and a baby crocodile! They also have kangaroos, snakes, lizards, and emus.
Soaring over Magnetic Island in a seaplane:
Do you enjoy flying in the air? If you like to explore an unknown area by flying, head to Magnetic Island. The best way to explore it is by seaplane! When you fly in a seaplane, you can see Maggie from above.
Doing some bombs at Crystal Creek:
Crystal Creek is a hidden watering hole in the rainforest, located along a winding mountain road in Paluma Range National Park. It's a great place to explore because it feels like only locals know about it. You can find this place by driving through the rainforest.
