This is the bar I want to give my money to whenever I go out: The cocktails taste delicious, the bartenders know their cocktails, the customer service is friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is chilled, and the music always hits the mark. Side note: The owner of the bar is a top-notch bloke. Thank you for setting up this delightful bar and keeping it running through this covid season of economic hardship. I appreciate it. P.S. Go on a Wednesday night and you will catch their $10 classic cocktail menu. Cocktails on a budget? Yes, please!

We visited the Museum of Tropical Queensland and were fascinated by the story of the HMS Pandora, it’s journey in 1790 to try to reclaim the HMS Bounty and its subsequent shipwreck on the Great Barrier Reef in 1791. The museum contains a life-size model of the bow of the HMS Pandora that provides enormous insight into the construction and size of the ship. The museum also houses numerous artifacts and provides visual storytelling of the discovery and investigation of the shipwreck of the HMS Pandora. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative museum.

We have been to over 70 countries and so at least that many Maritime Museums - likely a few hundred.. While the Townsville Maritime Museum cannot be compared to the biggest and best in major shipping cities such as Cobh, Norfolk, Southampton, Belfast etc it is excellent when compared to those in smaller cities and town. The displays & models are very interesting and bought back many memories from incidents like the HMAS Melbourne & HMAS Voyager and our visits to and seeing the actual boats, rafts and ships. A visit here is highly recommended.

Located at Jezzine Barracks in Townsville, the Museum collects and exhibits objects and stories relating to the history of the Australian Army in North Queensland.
Reviewed By elissainadelaide - Adelaide Hills, Australia
Shout out to the lovely and very dedicated volunteers at this Museum. The work and thought that has gone into the displays is obvious. Set on the now public grounds of Jezzine Barracks, the Museum provides a comprehensive account of Australia’s military history and the rolls of honour for WW1 and WW2 are just beautiful.

I saw an advert for Warrina cineplex in the local paper so I gave it a try. It’s cleaner than most cinemas. Tickets and food are good value. The clearly posted standards of dress & behaviour mean that everyone can have a good experience. I will be going back once blockbusters are being released again.
