Townsville Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Today I got on the bus with Nadia, heading up to Cairns. I got off at my stop at Townsville and got the ferry to my destination, Magnetic Island! This place is a slice of paradise, beautiful palm trees, 23 bays, plenty of sunshine and amazing wildlife. It's a beautiful island, full of lush rainforest and a national park. After some confusion wit...

17th We walked into town from the hostel early but it was already a really hot day. Got the ferry from Townsville to Magnetic island and from there we hired a Moke! ( for those of u that don't know what that is it's like a golf buggy with a mini engine in it and looked like a very low down and miniture jeep. The machine was about 20 years old an...

20-07-08: Vandaag gaan we naar Townsville, we zijn rond 10 uur weggereden en nog even gestopt bij de Wooly's voor wat spullen en een ontbijt. Omdat de registratie stickers van de auto naar een residential adres gestuurd moesten worden (bureaucratie), heb ik ze naar het adres van Roger en Jennie laten sturen. Ze zouden de stickers doorsturen naar...

Hmm, de geur van verse worsten knetterend op de barbeque, overgoten met ketchup op een boterhammetje, zand dat opwoelt tot een mini stofwolkje bij elke stap en de klank van country in je oren. Dit is de fleamarket.... Australischer kan volgens mij niet!! Terwijl ik geniet van een organisch geteelde appelsien die eruitziet alsof ze meerdere malen...

After the best nights sleep in the worlds comfiest bed we wake to the sound of parakeets in the trees, have some breakfast and check out the hostel. We put our bags in storage for the day and decide to take a bushwalk from Horseshoe Bay to Radical Bay, the next beach over. We walk along the front at Horseshoe Bay and every cafe is playing the us...

You wouldn't believe that travelling would be exhausting but it is!!! So i took the opportunity to visit Magnetic Island for 3 days and do nothing!!! The day before i caught the ferry over to Magnetic, i spent a day in Townsville on the Strand which has a large artificial swimming pool as you can't go in the sea because of the stingers. I just c...

G'day everyone! Sorry for not writing one of these for a while but we have had a pretty action packed time since leaving Terry zoo and Star Downs. We stayed in Townsville for a week, visiting Reef HQ a really big aquarium teaming with life from the Great Barrier Reef, we even had a presentation by a diver in the tank with the fish and sharks tal...

From Cairns we made our first ventures on the Greyhound down the East Coast of Oz where we would be getting off at the aforementioned town of Townsville. the only reason for stoppinf here was to catch the ferry the very next day across to Magnetic Isalnd. we arrived at about 5pm on Labour Day and EVERYTHING was closed apart from a couple of rest...

Townsville is a big town. The largest in Queensland and it feels really weird to be here after all the smaller towns I have been staying in. I arrived at night and it is hard to find your way around a new town in the dark. The hostel is a bit small and old but the owners are nice people and have only been running it 11 days! Teh room is tiny but...

Stayed in a hostel here with some very loud Cdn girls who I couldn't relate to so the Walkman came in handy. I enjoyed Townsville and wish again that I hadn't lost my photos since it had a really nice little market where we grabbed a nice lunch and it was also where we had an eerie experience with a mega amount of birds who took off from some li...
