I LOVED this... It is so difficult to find an honest review of a particular city. Everybody glows about their city. This is the good, the bad, and the ugly! Most informative. Thank you.
Very interesting thanks. Townsville is much bigger than I thought. Until I had watched this video I only knew about Castle Hill, Magnetic Island, The Strand, & CBD. Oh, and I knew it had a military base.
Trust me that city is not on fire. I’m summer it gets up to around 41 degrees. It’s normal up there. Also at the RAAF base (my dad works there) you prob can’t get in cause you gotta be in the army. They floods in 2019 were horrific, I didn’t know if I was going to get evacuated or not, luckily where I lived there was no flooding but I did have a mini pool in my backyard. Let’s just say a lot of the time you are sweating A LOT! Up there they only really have 2 seasons… Summer and Spring. Personally for R you should’ve put Riverway, pretty big attraction there. That grand final, I remember is so vividly. Ride or die for Cowboys, JT had all the pressure of this one kick riding on him. My brother actually got a photo with him in Castletown. The crime there is unbelievable, disgusting actually. Stolen cars on the side of the road, Thursday’s they have police out front on Maccas out front of Stocklands, people starting fights for no reason. Not a very good place crime wise. The net isn’t just for box jellyfish, it’s for crocs and just jellyfish in general. You also don’t see many people swimming in there, most people go to a pool or the waterpark on The Strand. The city is very, very busy on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Also people are like really bad at driving
I am truly asthonished by the incredible beauty of this city!! It looks like paradise landed in Townsville, rarely have i seen such beauty in the nature. I would actually love to live there. My only concern is about tropical cyclones etc.
You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Ernesto Matthias i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Haha this was very well done man! I recognise most of the names/spots from your previous videos! :) Congrats on nearly hitting 800 man! The channel is growing and growing and rightly so!
Awesome tour mate! Loved the historical facts. That's crazy thinking about flooding when it's so dry here. But. At the time when we had floods it was also hard to imagine a time of drought. I think Nth Qld should separate from us in the south. We might actually get daylight saving time then! I recognise some of the spots from when Andy Pandy was doing vlogs from Townsville on his Strom. He went over to Magnetic Island in one of his vids too. I'll have to get up there at some stage. I've always wanted to visit Kelso in my VT Commodore. You couldn't find a Zebra crossing? I guess they can't supply you with iced mocha in air conditioned glory though.
Thanks for watching mate. It's an interesting little place, so it is. Bone dry up here now too. No Da mad to think that we were inundated just ten months ago. I've a video from Maggie Island up- before I got the Wee though! I think the best Z I could have found after riding around in the heat was a freeZer!
@@PaddyOutback Yeah, so much of the land is really dry. It's amazing how quickly it turned. We need some middle ground, but Australia is a land of extremes! I enjoyed your creativity in this one. Especially the E. Although I was thinking, going into the supermarket all kitted up and talking about the eggs would have been hilarious! I thought of doing this myself for towns and suburbs, but this sort of approach appeals to me much more. I might do it when I go to Tassie next year.
@MrAusAdventure Thanks for the kind words. It's a good format but compared to my recent videos, it's tanked 😂 I'm off to Melbourne in January for a bit. Will be renting a bike. May do an A-Z of Melbourne!
@@PaddyOutback Sounds awesome! All my family are in Melbourne so I look forward to seeing that one! I'll be there for a bit in Feb/March before and after Tassie.
I knew it! Townsville, there was something odd about the name, used to watch that show with my daughters! Great tour of the city mate! Funny they do the same to trucks here, and wow stay outa the water near you!
As I sit here with the f#%king heater on and snow still on the ground from a cold front that came through, Thinking Townsville sounds good, I don't think the temperature would suit me. Great tour of your city and I really enjoyed it. RSM8
It's a decent place. My main advice is bring sunscreen! The sun is pretty savage in Summer! There's loads of cool places to go and to visit so you should have a good time there!
I think it's just a slow youtube day maybe bud :D The bogon and tattooed hills joke made me laugh out loud at lunch :D The poor auld floodgates, known as the bad guy so. The town centre looks nice and clean in fairness!! Being quiet isn't a bad thing :) They may have shot you at the base if you'd rocked on up with the Strom :/ Skin cancer thing is kinda scary....do you have to be plastered in factor 50 all of the time? I wish the was an immunisation for sun burn. I still think Mr Towns sounds like a right dickhead. Surely you can rename it :P Ah you'll have trouble anywhere there's a largeish cluster of people. Great video man, it'll pick up when people spot it :) I love the humor throughout :D
Must be a slow one 😂Even I like this video and I normally think my videos are shite! Yeah, had factor 50 on my arms and neck. The Irish don't do well in the heat. And I'm dark for the breed.
@@PaddyOutback it's always the one you sit back and are proud of that takes ages to get rolling I've found tho. Who knows why. Ahhh yes cover up as much as possible. I must give this one an auld share I don't do that enough I always forget!

Great explanation about the wild life 😂
Nice video 👍, gonna study there soon, watching the vid to get familiar with the city
Wow great video and you really know Townsville.
Very interesting thanks. Townsville is much bigger than I thought. Until I had watched this video I only knew about Castle Hill, Magnetic Island, The Strand, & CBD. Oh, and I knew it had a military base.
Great Video, I love visiting Townsville it has some great restaurants.
There are some good spots to eat alright! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your post very much. Well done mate !
Haha funny video mate, your crazy to ride around in that heat!!!!
Great tour very interesting. I recognise a few spots from our visit
Thanks man. Shame the video kinda tanked 😂😂
@@PaddyOutback maybe it's just a slow bloomer

Hey thanks for the information, as I want to move to Townsville with family, but I do have a question "What areas/etc would you suggest to live in?"
@@k9aussie898 ok in my opinion I think Bushland Beach or Burdell
Great to see more of Townsville than the Strand and CBD.
Thanks for the Tour, Cool place...Looks like you have a bunch of good riding to the North. Enjoy!
Yes, there's some awesome roads to the north alright. Must get up there more!
Loved the tour!
Thanks Paddy. Moving up in a couple of months and this was a great insight.
Glad it helped. It's a good little city!
I am truly asthonished by the incredible beauty of this city!! It looks like paradise landed in Townsville, rarely have i seen such beauty in the nature.
I would actually love to live there. My only concern is about tropical cyclones etc.
Cyclones re the least of your concerns... crime is where it’s at
thank you for a trip down memory lane, miss TSV, lived there for 5 years, TSV is a fitness freak mecca

Slowly creeping towards the 1000 mark. Feels like it's taking forever though 😂
Thanks for the tour very interesting
Cheers
Cheers for watching mate!

Thanks man.
Very entertaining, Paddy. Never been to Aus, wondered why you weren't swimming on those gorgeous beaches; now I know why. Yikes.
Yeah, some of the critters you encounter up here are no joke!
Good on You Paddy for Promoting Townsville.
Thanks mate. It's a good little city.
@@PaddyOutback Yes, Townsville has Huge Potential.
It needs another Million People.
Definitely.
I think he should have called it Townstown! Great job with this challenge Stephen, it’s the first video on the subject I’ve seen.
Ha! Wasted opportunity there alright!
I knew it! Townsville, there was something odd about the name, used to watch that show with my daughters! Great tour of the city mate! Funny they do the same to trucks here, and wow stay outa the water near you!
Yep, same as the city from the Powerpuff girls!
Enjoyed the video! In the recommended was three videos from Townsville city council. I think they're onto you :)
Ha! Maybe they'll use it as a promotional video for the city!
39 degrees, huh ? I'm sure I could get used to it. We go from plus to minus 30 here. lol That sure is a beautiful place !!
It's not a bad spot alright.
-30! Yikes!
It's sunny here too! Sadly only 5c though. And if I take out my V-strom I will have to spend an hour washing all the salt off it.
Oof, that's not pleasant. Although when it was 40c out by the dam I'd happily have swapped!
'J' (or 'M') for Jack Miller?? A glaring omission, good sir! 😉 🏍
Didn't even think of that!
Bloody great A to Z Paddy
Thanks mate.
I have family moving there soon :) its a great city!
I love Townsville, I am moving there in 2 weeks
You’ll hate the crime tho; trust me
So it's been 6 months, are you enjoying Townsville
I’ve A-Z Buddy, certainly is a beautiful place.😃👍
Has it's quirks but I do like it here!
Just having a coffee it's 345 in new Zealand about to head home on my DL650 cheers
Ride safe man. Night shift, I assume?
Nicely done sir. Also, it was nice to hear the native pronunciation of the word "ve- heh-kel". There's a garda lost in you 😁
Jesus, I know. I'm over 6ft tall and a culchie. It's amazing I didn't end up as one 😂
Lol

Crazy to think it was snowing down your way the other day. Australia is a mad place.
Audio is spot on👍
Thanks man. Just the gopro and an audio technica Mic I bought off eBay!
Lived right beside castle hill
Beautiful city!
She's not a bad place!
I'm moving next Feb for uni, do you have any advice for a new kid in town?
It's a decent place. My main advice is bring sunscreen! The sun is pretty savage in Summer! There's loads of cool places to go and to visit so you should have a good time there!
Sooo funny. I watch these cuz I’m deciding where to move in qld.
Same...Have you decided yet?
@@k9aussie898 when the borders open and I finish up fixing up my house here. How bout u?
I’m looking at Townsville @@k9aussie898
Holy crap.I can totally see now why people live in Townsville.
Not a bad place, is it?!
Should take a trip up to cairns
Hopefully soon. Have been dying to get up there.
@@PaddyOutback Townsville and cairns a totally different towns and the table lands is a grate ride
@@seanstrehle6312 Have been up there before but just in the car. Am mad for a go of the road to Port Douglas on the bike!
@@PaddyOutback the up the Gillies and down though kuranda is much better port Douglas is a money pit still a pretty Town tho
I am watching you from Brazil. I am planning to buy a V Strom Motorcycle.
Thank you for watching mate. It's an excellent bike that does everything well.
Bom dia!
great
that's it I don't need to visit Townsville now cheers.
😂😂
39c isn't that bad! When I was in Palm Springs for SCMM it was 48c. That was fucking painful! Beautiful views tho, much better than Alice Springs 😉🤣
Alice Springs is similar in climate to Palm Springs so I'm familiar with that horror myself mate 😂
I think it's just a slow youtube day maybe bud :D
The bogon and tattooed hills joke made me laugh out loud at lunch :D
The poor auld floodgates, known as the bad guy so.
The town centre looks nice and clean in fairness!! Being quiet isn't a bad thing :)
They may have shot you at the base if you'd rocked on up with the Strom :/
Skin cancer thing is kinda scary....do you have to be plastered in factor 50 all of the time? I wish the was an immunisation for sun burn.
I still think Mr Towns sounds like a right dickhead. Surely you can rename it :P
Ah you'll have trouble anywhere there's a largeish cluster of people.
Great video man, it'll pick up when people spot it :) I love the humor throughout :D
Must be a slow one 😂Even I like this video and I normally think my videos are shite!
Yeah, had factor 50 on my arms and neck. The Irish don't do well in the heat. And I'm dark for the breed.
@@PaddyOutback it's always the one you sit back and are proud of that takes ages to get rolling I've found tho. Who knows why.
Ahhh yes cover up as much as possible. I must give this one an auld share I don't do that enough I always forget!
You don't need to do that but thanks.
Just glad it came out well. Literally rode around in the heat for three hours to make it 😂
@@PaddyOutback not at all :)
How much water did you consume in those hours?
@@TheGorillaBiker drank a load before leaving the house, smashed 1.5 litres while out and about.
I saw on the news that Brownsville is the crime capital of Queensland. That aside it's not so bad😂🤣😀
That's come from some bullshit survey that didn't use any a dual crime figures. It can be a bit rough but it's no Logan!
I was born here
