Townsville Airport / Garbutt Airport Mini Guide

Townsville Airport or Garbutt Airport as it is known locally is in the north of Queensland, Australia. It shares its base with RAAF Townsville and is 5km from the city.  As well as the daily passenger flights there are also mining charters and cargo operations flying here. Each year the number of passengers at Townsville Airport increases on the previous year.

Townsville Airport is likely to have been your destination if you've come to this area from other parts of Australia. Like you, many come to explore the amazing sights of Queensland and in particular the Great Barrier Reef.  Walk up Castle Hill and see the views of the city and Magnetic Island. Take the Heritage Trail walking tour around Mackay to understand more about the city and its history. In the city you will find plenty of opportunity to shop until you drop or taste the best in local produce at one of the cafes. If you have a whole day to spare, why not catch the cat ferry to Magnetic Island and discover the beaches and national park. It’s a great place for adventure sports and horse riding too.

Rental car desks can be found in arrivals, if you decide to hire a car – it is an easy drive to the city and an effective way to explore the whole area.  Whichever you hire, you can see that you're still going to get a great deal and our service promise means that if your circumstances change, we won't charge you a cancellation fee.
