Townsville is a vibrant region that encompasses beautiful coastal towns, rainforests, rugged outback and country terrain. But the appeal of this lovely region expands further from the city of Townsville… head in any direction and you’ll be rewarded. The Great Barrier Reef sprawls to the east, the outback beckons to the west, paradises such as Magnetic Island and Mission Beach entice to the north while sugar cane and mango farming communities tempt in the south.
