グレートバリアリーフや熱帯の島々、緑豊かな熱帯雨林や世界遺産に登録された国立公園など、かつては静かだった海岸沿いの街は、今では現代的な都市へと変わりました。ここは自然を満喫する場所。
長年にわたり軍事基地として知られているタウンズビル地域には、現在もオーストラリア第3旅団と第11旅団の本拠地として、国内最大級の陸軍兵舎があります。ただ、軍人とその家族が移り住んだお陰で、この街が繁栄し、今では、サンシャインコースト以北でオーストラリア最大の都市となっています。
マグネティック島の楽しみ方
陸路や海路で探検に明け暮れるもよし、ここでの様々なアクティビティを満喫するもよし。沖合にある珊瑚礁に囲まれた人気のマグネティック島(Magnetic Island)へはフェリーで20分。シュノーケリングでグレートバリアリーフの万華鏡のような色彩を探検したり、島内の国立公園保護区やビーチ、ヤシの木など、この島で見られる豊かな自然を満喫しましょう。
タウンズビルでは、足を濡らさずに自然の驚異を目の当たりにすることも出来ます。世界最大の生きたサンゴ礁の水族館として評価の高いリーフHQグレートバリアリーフ水族館には、250万リットルの水槽とウミガメのリハビリセンターがあり、グレートバリアリーフの様子を見学することが出来るようになっています。また、海岸沿いにある水中美術館(Museum of Underwater Art)には「オーシャン・サイレン(Ocean Siren)」の彫刻が設置されていて、ストランド桟橋(The Strand Jetty)から水温によって色を変える彫像を見ることが出来ます。
一方街中には、カフェ、レストラン、ブティック、ギャラリーなどが軒を連ねていているほか、ビーチサイドのプロムナード「ザ・ストランド」には、家族連れにおすすめの無料のウォーター・アドベンチャー・プレイグラウンドがあるなど、観光客も楽しめるスポットが充実しています。
また、島内に生息するコアラを探してトレッキングを楽しむことも出来ます。
