Sail Away from Townsville

Wednesday February 14, 2007
Yes, you can do that, or you can take a cruise or a ferry ride from the north Queensland city of Townsville, departure point for Magnetic Island.

In fact, all along the north Queensland coast are access points to the Great Barrier Reef and the offshore resort islands.

And there are attractions to discover in the city itself.
