Many of us want our holidays to chase away all the stress that we hold on to, but not every holiday destination does this. But, Townsville in Queensland is a destination, often underrated, but has that relaxing charm like nowhere else.
Like what was said before, Townsville is a great place to relax and forget all the chaos in your life. The best thing you can do to achieve this peace of mind is to stay at a great holiday venue in which you can sit back and relax. There are several Townsville accommodation apartments the likes of Oaks Townsville Metropole Hotel that are ideal for all types of your stays. Since they are located in convenient locations, you don't need to worry much about travelling long distances looking for attractions.
If you are interested in 'eco-tourism', then you have a place to go when you are in Townsville. It's the Billabong Sanctuary, which is a family-owned wildlife park that features many animals such as koalas, snakes, emus, crocodiles, and kangaroos. If you are with your kids, make sure you stay for a crocodile feeding session too because they'll love that experience.
Every city has a high-altitude peak from which you can witness the entire city at one go. So, in Townsville, you have Castle Hill. You won't just believe that more than 2500 locals take the challenge of walking up the hill through many trails daily, so is this not a fair reason for you to say yes for this experience. Well, even if you feel like not climbing it, you can also drive to the top of the hill and enjoy the magnificent views of the island from there.
Those who love exploring historical facts would love to pay a visit to this amazing place 'the Tucker Regional Gallery'. You will love the look of the main building because it's one of the well-preserved ones in the city. In this gallery, you can come across more than 2000 artworks belonging to various genres, and if you are lucky enough, you will also be able to attend a workshop, a talk show, or an educational event here free of charge.
You may not be able to explore the Great Barrier Reef, but you still can explore the Reef HQ! It's the largest living coral reef aquarium in the world and is a part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. The must-explore sections here include the Turtle Hospital, Discovery Lagoon, and the Coral Reef Exhibit.
When you are in Townsville, take a ferry ride to Magnetic Island for a magical experience. If swimming is what you choose to do, you may do it here and if it's just walking while enjoying the views, you may also do it here without any disturbance.
