• Townsville, a historical city due
to its past role in the gold rush of around 1870, with it tropico-colonial
architecture. Really stunning. Founded in 1864 by John Melton Black
and his employees of the Woodstock Stations Company.
• The forth largest city of Queensland,
with sumptuous period buildings found all over the city. With its
outlying areas, wood houses on stilts, meeting up with the Palmer
Street district where the old saloons and the tower surround the traffic
round-about.
Grab a map of the city and get some info from the tourist office situated
in the Flinders St. Mall.
The city centre is bounded by Ross Creek, and the 290 m high
"Castle Hill" which is a great place from which to discover the lay
of the land.
• Townsville is the access point for
Magnetic Island, situated at a distance of about 8km by ferry.
• The first terminal for the ferry
is found in Flinders Street, and the 2cd is at Breakwater and is accessed
through an enormous carpark.
