Hiking up Castle Hill in Townsville, Queensland, Australia
Still fighting off the jet lag from our extended journey from Frankfurt to Townsville, we decided the perfect remedy would be to wake-up early and hike Castle Hill on our first full in Queensland, Australia. Castle Hill, an enormous isolated pink granite monolith, is the dominant landmark situated in the heart of the city.

We started off at the base of the hill taking what is known as the goat track (the hiking trail). With some 286 metres to climb we slowly made our way hiking up the hill.
I couldn't help but notice all of the hikers, early morning joggers and those engaged in other forms as exercise such as yoga joining us as we ascended up Castle Hill.
Our initial impression is that many locals take their fitness very seriously over here.
As we reached the half way point we were treated to stunning views of the city where off in the distance we could spot Magnetic Island.
Sweating profusely by the time we reached the top (and wishing we had of been clever enough to bring a water bottle) we were totally knackered. After resting for a short while we finally got to witness the rewards of making it all the way up to the top - gorgeous 360 degree panoramic views of the city.
Considering we had a noon ferry to catch to Magnetic Island this was the most ideal way we could have spent our only morning in Townsville.
For those interested in doing the hike, I highly recommend bringing lots of water and starting early in the morning before it gets too hot and humid outside. Townsville prides itself in having 320 days of sunshine a year (ironically it started raining after our hike) so weather or time of year shouldn't be too much of a consideration.
We are here in Australia. This is a completely new country for Sam and I. We are going to be exploring Queensland for the next two weeks. We're actually starting our trip off here in Townsville and this morning we're going to be climbing Castle Hill, which you can actually see over here in the distance.
Rising to a height of some 286 meters above sea level. Castle Hill, a pink granite monolith, dominates Townsville as its most iconic landmark.
Having the opportunity to hike up to the top was something we couldn't pass up. This moderately challenging hike was certainly a good workout. We noticed many locals exercising along the way.
There are a number of vantage points on the way up but nothing beats the landscapes from the very top where we had three hundred and sixty degree views of the city below.
Overall, that was a really cool climb. Climbing all the way up there. We had 360 degree views of the entire city, which was phenomenal. Luckily the weather really cooperated for us as well. That is it for our time in Townsville. Now we're off to Magnetic Island.
This is part of our Travel in Australia series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Australian culture, Australian arts, Australian foods, Australian religion and Australian people.

DAY 11 - TOWNSVILLE pt 2 - CLIMBING CASTLE HILL & STREET ART TRAIL | Road Trip Australia
Day 11 - 12th September 2017
We started day 2 in Townsville by a surprisingly exhausting climb up castle hill to the lookout, but we were rewarded with 360 degree views of Townsville and the surrounding area.
We also checked out the street art trail, and found a piano along the way. Finally we went for a dip in the rock pool to finish off the day...
DAY 12 COMING SOON!
SUBSCRIBE for more - I'm making daily videos and uploading as often as I can... however, decent WiFi is hard to come by on the road!

This video, in 4k high resolution, is overlooking the viewing area of Castle Hill located in Townsville QLD Australia. There are a number of storm clouds with rain in the distance. There are a number of people on a trail closer to the edge than I cared to go. It is a beautiful area view.

????????
호주 타운즈빌의 여행정보 ①. [캐슬힐] _ 밤 편
Australia Townsville Travel _ Castle Hill _ Night
을 촬영해 보았다.
????⛰
여행으로 기준으로 보았을때
그다지 주류가 아닌 호주라는 국가에서
시드니, 멜버른, 브리즈번, 퍼스가 아닌
비주류 여행지 타운즈빌 이라는
한국인들에게 다소 생소한 도시에 관한
여행관련 컨텐츠를 만들어 보려한다.
그 첫번째가 바로 타운즈빌의 심장
타운즈빌 시티내 어디서든 볼수 있는
커다란 바위산 캐슬힐이 그 첫 번째.
타운즈빌 중심에 자리한 이 붉은 바위산은
도시와 자연이 공존하는
신비로운 타운즈빌의 분위기를 잘 나타낸다.
전망대는 총 세 곳이 있으며 (한 곳에 모여있음),
등산을 즐기는 사람들을 위한 등산코스,
차량을 이용해서 올라 갈수있는 포장도로가 준비되어 있다.
정상의 주차장에 도착했을때를 기준으로
모두 돌아보는데
약 40~50분 가량 소요되며
밤과 낮의 분위기 또한 확연히 다르니,
가능하다면 두 시간대 모두 가보는 것을 추천한다.
