Hoof it up this striking 286m-high red hill (an isolated pink granite monolith) that dominates Townsville’s skyline for stunning views of the city and Cleveland Bay. Walk up via the rough ‘goat track’ (2km one way) from Hillside Cres. Otherwise, drive via Gregory St up the narrow, winding 2.6km Castle Hill Rd. A signboard up top details short trails leading to various lookout points.
