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.
