Castle Hill lookout and tracks
Castle Hill has 360 degree views over Townsville, the Coral Sea and Magnetic Island, with picnic areas, shade and drink fountains at the top. Repairs to the Cutheringa Track were due to start in October, with the track expected to reopen in late November 2026, so check the council page before you go.
