As I always love museums I found this museum to be very enjoyable to look around, it shows not only the history and area of Townsville part other places with in Tropical North Queensland. All the exhibits are amazing and with so much information.

Reef Headquaters Aquarium

This was an amazing aquarium I went here a couple of times, and because I was also living in Townsville for a while I got a year pass to visit the aquarium which was just great :)
Showcases many of the different sea life that make up the Great Barrier Reef

each area is great so many amazing different fish and other sea life to see as well,
you also get the opportunity to visit the turtle hospital around the back of the aquarium.
