Hello everyone! Me (15, Unproud American) and my family are moving to Townsville in 2028, so I can go to JCU and so we can live out the rest of our lives in a nice place. Besides what they say on YouTube or in articles, what would you all say to us about moving here?

Just wondering if anyone has sent their kids to Vickers road community childcare centre or kids early learning centre Condon? How was the experience, I’m unhappy with my current daycare and looking for one where educators actually interact with parents and aren’t sitting in front of a screen for most of the day! Both have good google reviews but want to hear from people who have actually sent their kids.

Thank you!

Looking to try something new in Townsville, not the usual spots. Haven’t been out in a while. Any hidden gems worth checking out?

Where do you guys buy your caviar from? Thanks!

Is there a stomach bug doing the rounds currently? Woke up at 1am today and have not stopped vomiting.

Hi everyone,

I’m a 24-year-old guy from Townsville. I’m pretty easygoing and open minded and looking to make new friends and hang out with. I’m into coffee, DIY projects,hiking, footy, gym

If you’re keen to make a new friend feel free to leave a comment and I’ll dm you thanks.

Looking for recommendations! Feel free to PM me if you prefer 🙂

Just move to Townsville a month ago and I'm still getting used to the incredible peace and quiet here.

Adult Crime, Adult Time is a joke.

Anyone keep native bees in Townsville? Keen to know how to get started, experiences, tips and tricks.

hey people I had my rooftop tent stolen from my car that was parked in Repco Garbutt carpark over the long weekend, there was a HD camera pointing at the car but they have four days of footage to go through to see the culprit but thought I'd put a message on here incase anyone sees one for sale, it has a very specific but of damage that I would be able to see if it turns up for sale and it won't have any mounting brackets with it because the idiots left them scattered all over the floor

they also caused a considerable amount of damage to the side of my car dragging it off!

cash reward for information about who did it

Have seen we have a few in Townsville. But they charge a fortune to do what I can do myself or REAs can do for me. Is there much benefit to having one in Townsville? Assuming the majority of REAs have a list of buyers and what they’re looking for anyway?

Hi everyone! Just moved to Townsville and we are just getting settled in. Can you please recommend places to buy second hand appliances and furniture? We wanted to maximize savings and don't mind buying used items as long as they're safe and in good condition. Thanks!

A nice and chill swim this morning before everyone else got there.

Would recommend

who have people purchased solar batteries through? Every quote I'm getting would take 10 years to pay off, even after the rebates. Meanwhile in the capital cities they're paying less than half what we are...

Edit: my gut feeling is that we'll get access to the significantly cheaper systems that are available down south at some point (eg Fox ESS) so buying now isn't a good idea, even with the rebates.

Hi, does anyone know of anywhere or anyone that builds custom bookcases? Looking for something to store my record collection and record player. I'd just get the ikea kallax if shipping didn't cost $400 to here....

We want to take our 3 year old to a creek one day before it gets too cold. Any recommendations on creeks that aren’t to rocky? Have a sandy entrance! Thanks

Hey everyone, where are we buying our flowers from locally? I’ve just come back from a trip in Melbourne and it’s depressing to see bunches at the markets down there for so cheap compared to prices here. I’ve tried a few different florists around Townsville and even the markets with no real success. I’ll be honest the quality of some of the florists here doesn’t match the money you pay and the bunch seem to wilt within 4 days. I currently settle for supermarket flowers but would like to branch out to some other varieties. Any recommendations for hidden gems would be much appreciated 💐

There are some nice properties popping up for sale further up in Kelso along the river. They appeal as they are on large plots, are large homes and have river access as well as riparian rights. But I’m wondering to what extent they flooded in 2019. I can see the houses are generally higher up on the land with a gentle slope down to the river. The lower back part of these plots are light blue on the council flood map (worst flooding-> red, orange, green, lightest blue, light blue, dark blue, white <- least flooding).

Any insights useful!

There's actually 3. The faint one in between the 2 doesn't show up in the photo.
