Townsville Motels - Reviews and Rates

On the drive from Cardwell we took a huge diversion to visit Wallaman falls... the largest drop waterfall in Oz at 268 meters. The drive was pretty scary, with suicidal kangaroos leaping in front of the car and very steep and windy roads. Once at the top we were rewarded with a stunning view of the falls, complete with a rainbow over the falls.<...

Didn't really plan much for the day as it was Ethan's appointment for review. All went well and the doctor was happy with how it was all healing. Wanted to see him again to remove the stitches next Tuesday so looks like we will be hanging around a bit longer still. In the afternoon ended up going back to the museum to take some photos of all we'...

Townsville is a reasonable sized city of approx 150,000 people.   We have found Townsville to have an activity on each weekend, with everything from Jazz festivals to the usual Annual show days. We are staying in the suburb of Pimlico, just south west of the city. We have found that there is a shopping centre within a few minutes walk from most ...

We stopped in Townsville long enough to visit Magnetic Island, a 20 minute ferry ride away. We planned to do some snorkelling but the water was a little churned up and there was a risk that stingers were still about. We still had a lovely day swimming safely within a stinger net, walking in the forests and lounging on the beach. Open the photos ...

Avid readers of this log (Nan, Grandad), may recall that on Day 1 I met another traveller called Stuart. We've met up again in Cairns, exchanged stories about Thailand and are heading down the East Coast of Austrailia in a campervan! Getting a good deal on a campervan was harder than I had expected and it came down to Budha (the receptionist in ...

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...

After the mad time in Airlie Beach, Me, Mark and Tim G, a bit of poor site, headed up to Port Douglas for a bit more recreational time. We stopped off multiple times including lunch / breakfast at Townsville, attempting to visit Tims cousin in Inisfail and the mango bar... sweet mango smoothes! When your driving up North, after Airlie Beach the ...

Jonny- We heard kookaburras for the first time this morning (although we'd seen some already). 'Laughing' doesn't quite describe it: it's hysterical, verging on the maniacal! Anyway, the pickup we'd arranged in Townsville left us a couple of hours between check-out and the ferry, which we killed strolling along the beach (the weather was really ...
