Drinks & Nightlife
Great bar with food available at the bistro. Brilliant views and fab for all ages. Avoid Saturday nights if you don't like crowds. I think it's best late afternoons for sunset drinks or a casual lunch.

Great cocktails, every night is different from comedy nights, salsa dancing to nightclub. Outside area as well as cosier lounge bar on other side. The food will not disappoint either.

Parks & Nature
Walking castle hill is a Townsville tradition so go for it. Hints and tips stick to the road if your not a mountain goat. The goat track is fun but you should have a good level of fitness prior to attempting.
