Situated on the north-east coast of Queensland, Townsville is considered the 'capital' of north Queensland. It is a city which boasts a relaxed tropical lifestyle as well as being dynamic and lively - beaches, rainforest, fine dining, nature walks, sports activities from sky-diving to snorkeling, golf to go-carting (not forgetting to mention trap shooting of course!)
And all this with the Great Barrier Reef on the doorstep.
