Keep exploring Queensland with our travel partners.
Castle Hill makes Townsville’s coastal geography immediately clear: city streets, the Strand and Magnetic Island spread out below the summit. Drive up for a short viewpoint visit or use the signed tracks if you want a strenuous ascent. The exposed summit can be hot and windy, so bring water and choose the walking option to match conditions.
What to look for
The summit overlooks Townsville streets, coast and the Strand.
Magnetic Island sits across the water in the lookout view.
Useful to know
Carry water and check conditions before choosing a summit walk.
