About Townsville

Queensland’s Townsville was one of the coast’s first really tropical cities. Its busy waterfront strip offers stretches of palms, beach and shady lawn. The Strand promenade is lined with old houses and fig trees and looks out to Magnetic Island – a beautiful reef island situated five miles off shore.

The city has a rich maritime history, much of it showcased in the Museum of Tropical Queensland. The centrepiece is an impressive full sized replica of the third front of Pandora, a British frigate linked to the tale of the Bounty Mutiny.
