Destinations

Townsville

Loading booking engine...

Relaxed, tropical and proudly North Queensland, Townsville has a character all its own.

Destination

Set between the coastline and the tropics, Townsville is a city where urban life and the natural environment sit comfortably side by side.  Its waterfront, relaxed pace and year round warmth have helped shape a destination that feels distinctly North Queensland.

Townsville’s connection to the surrounding region is part of what makes it unique.  The city looks out towards Magnetic Island, while nearby landscapes range from coastal plains to rugged inland country. That diversity is reflected in the city itself, where local culture, community spirit and outdoor living all play a role in everyday life.

A bus to Townsville arrives in a destination that balances the energy of a regional city with the laid back atmosphere of the tropics. Welcoming, unpretentious and shaped by its surroundings, Townsville offers a different perspective on Queensland life.
