Townsville City is a strip of land along the northern-eastern bank Ross Creek at its mouth at the Coral Sea, thus the suburb is bounded to the north by the Coral Sea and to the south-east by Ross Creek. It is overlooked to the west by Castle Hill. The land is mostly low-lying, just about sea level, apart from Melton Hill (19.2559°S 146.8189°E) which creates a natural boundary to North Ward to the north-west.

The charming North Queensland town of Townsville has a rich history. The town played an integral role in the war in the Pacific, and many landmarks remain today, just waiting to be explored. Steeped in history, Kissing Point Fort is home to some imposing reminders of World War II: huge guns pointing out to sea from the point. The barracks and guns may date back to the late 1800s, but the new 15-hectare heritage precinct, Jezzine Barracks is the perfect backdrop to explore this notable landmark. 32 public artworks span the area, commemorating the military and Aboriginal heritage of the point. Coastal walkways, including an ethnobotanical walk with traditional flora, offer the ideal vantage to explore. The Army Museum of North Queensland sits in the center of the precinct, with many exhibitions and collections on the history of the Australian Army in North Queensland available for viewing.
