We absolutely loved the time we spent in Townsville last month. There is so much to see and do there, and, as usual, we hunted around for the free things to do… and, also, as usual, street art was one of the first things we pursued! Townsville has embraced the street art mania that is spreading through cities worldwide! It has a vibrant street art atmosphere with stunning art and huge murals. The art is actively encouraged by the Townsville City Council as it helps to energise the city centre, promotes cultural tourism, and strengthens the city’s arts sector.
The council have made it easy for you to discover this art by providing a map. Click on the link and go explore!

Some of the art is small, like the colourful painting below, while others, such as the goanna on the right below, are huge!
