Places of Interest in Townsville
Reef HQ Aquarium
One of the best bang-for-the-buck experiences of its kind in the country, Reef HQ Aquarium is the largest living coral reed aquarium around the globe. The main viewing tanks of Reef boast a 2.5 million liters main coral reef exhibit as the main attraction that mirrors a view of what creatures and coral of the Great Barrier Reef actually look like.

Relatively untouched by man and located so close to Townsville, Town Common Conservation Park is a large and natural showcase of wildlife.
