Conquer Castle Hill for Breathtaking Views

For stunning panoramic views of Townsville, the ocean, and Magnetic Island, Castle Hill is the ultimate destination. This heritage-listed pink granite monolith towers majestically over the city skyline. Visitors can drive to the peak for the most relaxed way to venture up the grand rock.

For the energetic, a sunset hike to the summit is a must-do experience. Multiple trails lead to the top, including the challenging Goat Track, a short but steep climb starting just outside the CBD. The more popular Cudtheringa Track, beginning at the base of Castle Hill Road in North Ward, offers a moderate hike with spectacular midsection views, making it a favourite among locals and visitors alike.
