The National Parks around Townsville are home to plenty of wildlife including rare butterflys, kangaroos, birds, platypus and trees that have stood for centuries. Many of these protected areas also have beautiful creeks, waterfalls and swimming spots.

There is also fascinating history around the region that stretches back thousands of years when Aboriginal tribes were the only ones to inhabit the lands to more recent european history of miners, pastoralists and war. Remnants of many of these bygone moments in history are still evident in the beautiful colonial buildings, old pubs, museums and exhibitis of gold mining equipment and cottages.

The opportunities for exploration in the Townsville Region invite you.
