TownsvilleTownsville, Australia’s largest tropical city, has become the premier destination for
travellers wanting to see the ‘real’ North Queensland.This city of 150,000 people is a charming blend of old and new with modern facilities that include entertainment, pubs, clubs, restaurants and accommodation to suit all tastes. Because it is located in the dry tropics, Townsville consistently records more than 300 
sunny days each year – perfect weather to enjoy a diversity of experiences from a skydive with a beach landing, to snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef.
Attractions here include Billabong Sanctuary, where you can hold a koala or wombat and watch crocodiles feeding, Reef HQ marine life aquarium and the Museum of Tropical Queensland to name a few. Townsville’s beachfront promenade, The Strand, is lined with 
restaurants, cafes, accommodation and recreational facilities. On Sundays, the Cotters Market in Flinders Mall is North Queensland’s largest arts and craft market where you can
buy everything from hand-made pottery and jewellery to fresh fruits and Islander crafts.
Travellers also enjoy visiting Magnetic Island, just 20 minutes from the city centre by fast catamaran ferry. Here, more than 2,000 koalas roam free in an idyllic tropical setting that offers superb views, palm-fringed beaches, a wide variety of accommodation and plenty to see and do, including horse riding along the beach, sailing, jet ski tours and diving experiences. Experience the charm of Island, Outback, Reef and Rainforest “Life in the Tropics” by visiting Townsville! Get more Information on Townsville at the official web site Townsville On Line Hostels
