Townsville
Another 5 nights in Townsville. Love this place. It has everything. Ocean, port, river, mountains, rail and airport.
Wikipedia: The largest settlement in North Queensland it is unofficially considered its capital.
My must dos for Townsville:
Around town: Drive up to Mt Stuart. Hike to the lookout atop Castle Hill. Hike the WWII trails at Pallarenda and veg-out at the beach side parks at Pallarenda.
The region: Walk the tropical trails at Paluma. Tour the coastal spots of Rollingstone and Balgal Beach.
Magnetic Island: Take the ferry and ride a pushbike around the island. Walk the WWII "The Forts'' trails and swim in one of the protected bays.
