On Australia's north-eastern coastline lies the city of Townsville, around 350 kilometres form Cairns. The city is on Cleveland Bay, in Queensland, and rises gently up 958 feet to its highest point, also known as Castle Hill. Townsville has a total population of 185,000 people, and is known for its incredible weather, receiving over 320 days of sunshine per year. It's also close to the resort of Magnetic Island. Don't miss the Riverway, an area of parkland which offers a range of leisure activities from dining out to swimming, or take a trip to the nearby Great Barrier Reef for some of the best scuba diving in the world.
