Townsville Travel Tips
Townsville travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • A must is to check out Townsville Aboriginal Cultural Center for a dance performance and a visit in the museum of the Bindal and Wulgurukaba people.  Adam S.
  • Located 1371 km from Brisbane, Townsville today is a city of great charm and style. Its one great redeeming quality is that it has not been overwhelmed by tourism. There is no feeling that the place is tourist driven. There is no sense of every shop being devoted to extracting the tourist dollar. …  Miranda S.
  • its going to rain mostly through the summer but a must take is the sunscreen. you will be burnt if unprepared  Thomas D.
