Castle Hill - Townsville
Castle Hill

I believe we have more than one home, Townsville is my second home, as this is were my family lives. I regularly visit my parents, also my brother and his family. I can not return to Australia without staying here
If you want the sun, sand and palm trees of a tropical destination without too much tourist glitz, Townsville is the location you have been seeking. There is no shortage of things for the visitor to do and Townsville offers the best of both worlds, combining the lure of the tropics with the excitement and convenience of a major city.

Located on the north-eastern coast of Australia, Townsville and its twin city Thuringowa form the unofficial capital of North Queensland and one of the fastest growing regions in Australia. Situated on Ross Creek and overlooked by the 290m-high Castle Hill, Townsville is a thriving metropolis.
