Cheap Rex Airlines Flights to Townsville from $149*

Up in sunny North Queensland lies a gem of a town adjacent to the central section of the Great Barrier Reef - Townsville. Townsville offers the perfect tropical holiday whether action-packed or laidback with icons such as The Strand, Magnetic Island and Paluma Village.

With five northern beaches about 60 kilometres north of the city, and an eclectic mix of rainforest, reef, outback bush and big city benefits, it is the ideal getaway for all.

The Strand is a 2.2km beachfront promenade, with palm trees lining up the bike and walkway paths, beaches, picnic spots, a water park and water-view chic restaurants and bars. It certainly caters to the different needs of all, providing a great source of enjoyment.

For a perfect island escape, Magnetic Island can be reached by a short ferry ride. This is located right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which is filled with unique bird life and koalas roaming wild. Renowned for its splendour and beauty, Magnetic Island is affectionately known as Maggie by the locals.

The southernmost point in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area boasts a cool mountain retreat – Paluma Village, located within Mount Spec National Park. It is easy to be lost in this world as the lack of mobile phone coverage allows you to concentrate on the arts and craft, bird watching, rainforest walks and cafes found within.

Experiencing Townsville will surely be unforgettable and with so many different kinds of experiences to be had, you will definitely want to go back more than once.
