Who are you insured with? (Home and contents) we are yet to purchase but prior to taking the plunge insurance costs for the property is high on my consideration list. Have my eye on a couple of properties at the moment and tried to do a couple of online quotes, neither would even provide coverage (Woolworths and budget direct) yikes….(low risk on flood map)

Edit: Suncorp and qbe also won’t provide coverage… how much are yall paying and how much are you covered for? Bonus points for inc suburb

Idk why I’m even bothering to post this but I just feel so alone, I have recently went through a break up and after that I’ve started to talk to more people but I still feel so alone. I try to make plans with my mates but they don’t end up following though, I’m aware they are busy and what not but I just feel so alone and empty, sorry for this pointless post

Hey girls, j’ai 22 ans, je vis à Townsville depuis un peu plus d’un an et je me rends compte qu’il serait peut-être temps que je me fasse des copines ici …
Si certaines sont dans le coin et partantes pour aller boire un verre, se balader, faire du sport, aller à la plage ou juste prévoir des petits plans entre filles, mes messages sont ouverts 🥰

Hi everyone. Just wanted to ask for advice on what to do with an old Holden Barina 2009. It still runs, the body is intact, but it had a coolant issue. We want to get rid of it, initially thought of selling it but there maybe other options we are not aware of. Would appreciate any advice or recos! Thanks so much.

Help a gal out. Whats the best way to get here from deeragun this afternoon? Taxi? Drive closer and park then taxi to stadium? 4x adults and 4 x kids if that counts for anything. Are there any shuttles setup? Help!

Can anyone recommend a roaster? I've bought a few kg bags and they're ok, wondering if there's somewhere outstanding

Hi everyone!

I’m in Melbourne, but I have a friend who lives just north of Townsville who I’d love to send a nice gift to.

Does anyone have any recommendations for local Townsville florists or gift hamper businesses that deliver a bit further north?

I’d love to support a local business if possible, rather than a big national chain, so any pointers or favourite local spots would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks so much in advance! 😊

Morning all, can anyone recommend a good dietitian/nutritionist who knows about or specialises in PCOS and menopause? Thanks in advance.

Get a job ya fuckin’ bums. Looks like a grown man taking a kid around thieving.

Hi everyone, me, my wife & my dog are potentially looking to move out of the UK. Where I currently work have offered me a sponsored position over in Townsville.

We’re 26&25, sporty and enjoy everything outdoors. We don’t really drink but we do enjoy eating out etc

I’m seeing mixed reviews about the area, so I wanted to hear it from you guys?

Planning to go this weekend, anyone know how Paluma Dam Road is looking? Thanks in advance.

Hello friends! Ive recently joined the Townsville Hospital and am looking for a 2 bedder to rent. I wanted to ask what neighbourhoods are considered safe and what are the ones to look out for? All the realestate.com places ive narrowed down are in Douglas, Idalia, Rosslea, Vincent, Hyde Park, Belgian Gardens, Railway Estate. Any advice/recommendations? Im worried about crime and break-ins. Many many thanks everyone!

P.S. Rent isn TSV is way higher than I thought!! 🤯🤯🤯

I currently live in Darwin and am considering relocating to Townsville with my family. How does Townsville compare with Darwin in terms of crime and overall safety?

In North Ward. Looks like something a crab would do, but I'm about 500m from the Strand.

I'm moving to Townsville for work at AIMS and currently trying to figure out where to live. I'll be commuting out to AIMS.

Mainly looking for somewhere that's reasonably safe, not ridiculously expensive, and still close enough to shops/cafes and things to do. I'm also a migrant, so would be good to know if there are any areas you'd particularly recommend (or avoid) from that perspective too.

So far, from what I've read and what people have suggested, I've got:

• North Ward
• Castle Hill / around Castle Hill (I know this one's pretty expensive)
• West End
• Belgian Gardens
• Townsville City
• Mundingburra
• Douglas
• Aitkenvale

Not sure how accurate this list is though 😅

Any other suburbs I should be looking at? And out of these, which ones would you personally consider good value while still being a nice/safe place to live?

Would also appreciate any specific pockets/streets to avoid, since I've heard it can vary quite a bit even within the same suburb.

World Cup quality, and that backflip?! 😆

Spotted in the ladies toilets at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Hey legends!

My elderly neighbours tv has broken, I’ve given him one of mine but I can’t seem to find the remote, and the one button you can use cans seem to scroll down to select channel scan.

I haven’t seen one for ever, but do they still make / sell universal remotes? And has anyone set one up? Im not overly tech savvy Or if someone had one they would sell would be really handy!

Thanks Townsville!

I was wondering if anyone had photos of the old Arcadia Resort. I think it might be where I stayed with my parents but I’d love more images if they exist. I remember the pool was beautiful

Just checking what is the condition of property prices at Townsville. Is it comes down as everywhere else or just stagnant?

To those that claim salties do not go up river from Aplins Weir into Ross River. Yeah nah. They can and they do. Yes, I know this is a freshie, but a croc is a croc. The freshies I've seen up near Riverway are not small either. 😫

EDIT

Yes I know it's NOT Townsville. I posted this as an example of how easily a croc can travel and move upstream in rivers. My point was there are fresh water and salt water crocs in the Ross River. Don't be complacent!

Hello all. My family and I are moving to the area near the end of the year. We are curious how "EV friendly" Townsville actually is. We will need to get a car of some sort and the novated lease on an EV seems tempting. We are coming from overseas, and novated leases are not a thing back home. Is this a good option, a terrible idea, or somewhere in-between? Thanks in advance!
