Sightseeing
If you like an early morning walk, Castle Hill is a great one. Not for the faint-hearted though. You can walk up the road to the top, or take the 'goat track'.

Mt Stuart will give you a view of the entire city. It's a nice windy drive, or if you are super fit, a 9km walk from the bottom.

Catch the ferry for a 20min ride to Magnetic Island. Once you are there, you can use the hop on, hop off buses that travel from one side of the Island to the other. Ferry's leave pretty much every hour.

Local Sports Stadium (NRL in particular)
The official Stadium for the Townsville Cowboys. This is also the place for big bands and shows. Approximately 500mt's from my front door.

Food scene
The Strand is very popular with all our locals. You can walk the length, stopping along the way for a Juliette's ice-cream, fish and chips, or an ice-cold beverage. Plenty of places to each and socialise.
