North Queensland

Townsville

Magnetic Island

Cassowary Coast

Cassowary Coast

Townsville

From the Great Barrier Reef and its tropical islands, to the lush rainforests and World Heritage listed national parks, the once quiet coastal town has merged into a modern metropolis. It's a place to discover, appreciate and immerse in nature.

ACCOMMODATION

TOURS

Long known as a military base, the Townsville region today remains home to one of the country’s largest army barracks, as the official home of Australia’s 3rd and 11th Brigades. But it’s thanks to this influx of army personnel and their families that the city has prospered — the town today is Australia’s largest urban centre north of the Sunshine Coast.

Visit the official Townsville Tourism Website for further information on activities, restaurants, accommodation and more.  If you find something of interest, feel free to let us know and we will reach out to enquire about discounts. Please note that you will need to book via Defence Holidays NQ to obtain your discount. 

VISIT TOWNSVILLE

Magnetic Island

Boasting a unique natural environment of palm-fringed beaches, large granite boulders, hoop pines, sandy beaches and fringing coral reefs, Magnetic Island is an island paradise of endless sunshine, koalas, hiking trails, topless cars, snorkelling adventures, and more!

VISIT MAGNETIC ISLAND

Cassowary Coast

Running from Cairns to Cardwell, the Cassowary Coast is one of the undiscovered gems of Queensland, a quiet stretch of coastline bordered by the Wet Tropics Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. This quiet stretch of the Tropical North Queensland coast is the closest point to the Great Barrier Reef on the mainland. Flanked by lush rainforest, the dreamy beachside enclave of Mission Beach is at its heart.

ACCOMMODATION

TOURS

There are plenty of hidden treasures tucked away along the Cassowary Coast, from secret beaches and snorkelling spots to secluded waterfalls and laid-back villages.
