Townsville City Council - Eco Catchment Tours

The Townsville region has a rich and diverse range of ecosystems, including dry tropics savannas, internationally significant wetlands, dry tropics vine forest, coral reefs, and island systems. We are lucky enough to live, work and play within and around most of these natural environments.

The catchment tours offer schools and the community a chance to
follow the water cycle from the ‘top’ of the catchment to the reef and to view the interrelationships between essential infrastructure and the local natural environment.
