Only Townsville is a city of 120,000 people, located in North Queensland on the Coral Sea. It is Australia's largest tropical city-the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Located on a latitude similar to Fiji and Tahiti, the climate, particularly in the winter is unsurpassed. With beaches, deserted tropical islands, and the vast open spaces of the Outback nearby, as well as easy access to Southeast Asia, the Townsville area has much to offer the exchange student. As a former college of the University of Queensland, it enrolled its first students in 1961.
