Travelling from Brisbane to Townsville is one of Queensland’s classic long distance journeys, connecting the state’s capital with the tropical hub of North Queensland. Spanning much of the Queensland coastline, the route links major regional centres, beachside communities and some of the state’s most recognisable tourism destinations.
The journey north passes through a diverse mix of destinations, including Hervey Bay, Rockhampton, Mackay and Airlie Beach. Along the way you’ll encounter gateway destinations to K’gari (Fraser Island), the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef, making Brisbane Townsville more than just a trip between two cities. It is an opportunity to experience the landscapes, communities and attractions that define regional Queensland.
At the end of the route, Townsville offers a blend of tropical lifestyle, coastal scenery and outdoor adventure. Visitors can stroll along The Strand, take in panoramic views from Castle Hill, explore museums and galleries, or catch a ferry across to Magnetic Island. As North Queensland’s largest city, Townsville also serves as a gateway to national parks, reef experiences and island escapes.
