Environs around AIMS and the Townsville district of North Queensland   
Townsville Town Common Environmental Park

(Map reference 9) - Distance from Townsville: 10 km.

Brolgas

The Townsville Town Common Environmental Park is just five minutes drive from the city centre.

During the wet session, Brolgas, Jabirus and many other wetland birds fly in to this low lying area. They move out again when the swamps dry up and turn into cracking clay pans.

The park is also home to wallabies, echidnas and goannas.
