Visited my son there 2 years ago and saw many of these highlighted areas. You did a great job identifying the locations.

Great tips! we went just last week for a holiday in Townsville, could possibly be moving there next year. So we went to check out the vibe, we agree the strand was very pretty, we also have lived in Darwin so I’m very wary of crocodiles too. We loved the fish & chips place on the strand, the chef there really loves what they do! Rock paper scissors I think it was called. Magnetic island we did a day trip and walked so far! And it’s such a beautiful island, our sons spotted there first ever koala in the wild so that was wonderful. We did swim at the beach at the island but I was very wary even though the water is clear blue. Would love to stay there a few nights to do more exploring. We drove up the three close by mountains in the city, and I don’t think I’m fit enough for walking up them just yet. They are so steep but the view is amazing. We also liked the local museum. And the reef HQ would be a great tourism card and good for locals when it’s done. We stayed at the Mercure, and the staff and room up keep was just lovely and our sons loved the rock pool. Also some questions, what is word around town on the best and nicer high schools? And we didn’t get a chance to see many art galleries, what are they like?

Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your experience in Townsville! Fish and chips on the Strand is one of my favourite things! Sounds like you had a great time. There are lots of good school options in Townsville. Depends on what you want but I’ve heard good things about St Patrick’s, St Margaret Mary’s, the Cathedral school, Ignatius Park College and Townsville Grammar. It’s always worth checking in local community pages what the best state and private schools are in the areas, as often current parents can give good advice!

Iv been pondering at moving from Melbourne to somewhere warm , I am so over living here now. Airlie beach was always out 1 st choice as we go twice a year but it’s more affordable in Townsville. I’m worried about getting work and the reputation of theft and break ins . (Melb is no better to be honest. )

I have friends from work in Townsville who moved from Melbourne and they loved it! You may be able to find work as it is a bigger regional city! Yes I would just say it’s good to invest in some good quality security screens😅. I hope everything works out for you ☺️

I am waiting for someone making a power puff Girls reference. "The city of Townsville" there I did it.
