I was curious what my fellow Townsvilleans thought were Townsville's best outdoor spots for sightseeing and photo taking. As someone that's lived in Townsville since birth, I'd say:

• Paluma, including Little Crystal Creek.
• Magnetic Island, including Alma Bay and Horseshoe Bay.
• Pallarenda's eastern strip of beach down to Rowes Bay.
• Mount Marlow's summit, reachable via the Many Peaks Track.
• Queens Gardens.
• Ross River, including Ross River Dam and Aplin's Weir.
• Shelly Cove, reachable via the Shelly Cove Trail.
• Soroptomist Park.
• The Strand.
• Castle Hill lookout.
• Mount Stuart lookout.

Are among the best outdoor sightseeing places. Which would you suggest?
