From the Great Barrier Reef and its tropical islands, to the lush rainforests and World Heritage listed national parks, the once quiet Queensland coastal town has merged into a popular sunny holiday destination. It's a place to discover, appreciate and take in nature. Fill your days and explore with a stroll along The Strand and soak in the view of Magnetic Island and the Port of Townsville.
