For the boatie, Townsville has a choice of two marinas both having good and bad points. We chose the Breakwater Marina which is quite old but has new showers, laundry facilities and is surrounded by new high-rise apartments and adjoins a fantastic park along the foreshore. The Strand Park has numerous water features, including great pools for children and the young at heart.
Venturing into town, we walked across the historic bridge spanning Ross Creek (cousin of Ross River, home of the famous virus) and visited the Maritime Museum that also has large displays of WWII memorabilia. Back across the other side of the creek we got a feeling for what Townsville's nightlife could be like, but it was quite "dead" on our Saturday afternoon!
