Today, we are taking you on an afternoon hike to the Castle Hill Lookout in Townsville, Tropical Queensland, via one of the many trails that will get you to the top of Castle Hill.
Research reveals that there are in fact 15 tracks to the top; one is even called the 'Widow Maker'! But, Castle Hill Road (5.2km return), Cudtheringa (2.5km return), and Goat Tracks (1.6km return) are the most popular. An average of 2,500 transverse the hill at a walk, run, or cycle on a daily basis, plus dogs and pushchairs. All the tracks are well worn and easily identified.
As well as offering an iconic centrepiece for the city and spectacular scenic views, Castle Hill has a significant history. The Hill's vantage was used by visiting American soldiers during World War II.
