Living in the hustle and bustle of the city has its perks. City life promises an exciting and busy lifestyle that always has an abundance of activities available. However, as cities such as Sydney become more packed each year, it seems that it has less perks and more inconveniences. Many stay in the city still as they don’t want to sacrifice the electric night life and experiences of any busy centre. What if I told you though, that you could experience this lifestyle, at a slightly slower pace, with fewer crowds, and much less of a cost? Land for sale across in Townsville from Lendlease Communities can promise you this. Don’t believe me? Let me show you seven world class activities in Townsville that will have you thinking you’re where you’re meant to be.
Anderson Park Botanical Gardens
Spanning over 25hA, the Anderson Botanical Gardens showcases the raw beauty of a range of native and tropical plants. What started as a small arboretum in the 1930’s, the Anderson Park Botanical Gardens delivers beautiful walking trails and never before seen views.
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Adjacent to the centre of the Great Barrier Reef, the research centre provides tours around the site teaching guests about the AIM’s current research and a look into the world’s smartest aquarium.
Castle Hill
Merely metres away from being classed as a mountain, Castle Hill is one of the most iconic sights of Townsville, planting itself right in the centre. The Hill not only shows off its awe-inspiring appearance of a giant pink monolith, but it also has numerous trails, paths and photo opportunities wrapped within a rich history.
Magnetic Island Dive Site
Diving is a hugely rewarding experience which is sure to tempt everyone into the water. The relatively shallow water fetches a balmy 23 degrees which will have you swimming all day while you uncover an array of sea life and wonder. Walks around the headlands and shores are just as exciting as diving itself with crystal-clear bays and reefs.
Horseshoe Bay Ranch
One activity that is hard to come by can be found at the Horseshoe Bay Ranch which gives you the chance to recreate romantic movie scenes as you ride along the shores on the back of a horse. From barn to beach, the horses used in the ranch are retired from a life of rounding and organising cattle, so they enjoy the rides just as much as you!
