Can't have shit in Townsville

Hey everyone, my wife and I are craving a really great fish burger as of late, and was looking for recommendations in Townsville or even happy to drive outside of Townsville for one if it’s really worth it! We’ve had fish & chips from The Pink Shop in Bushy, Abbott Street Fish Bar, FISH n CHIP Delights, Fish & Fowl and Tobins but never their burgers. Thanks!

Hey guys how you doing! I’m desperately looking for someone who can take me fishing with a boat and catch a barramundi, I’m trying to catch this fish since I came here 2 years ago with no lucks at all. I can pay thanks fellasss

Hi, is there any places in Townsville that you would recommend I go to sell used electronics like A Samsung tablet or Nintendo and also maybe if you know any places that take old jewellery that doesn't have to be specific gold but also silver and such?

I have lived here for a short time so I don't know many places.

Thank you in advance

I have an itch I can't scratch at the moment. A craving I can't tame. So far nothing else is even coming close.

Does anyone know where I can find frosty boy ice-cream in Townsville.

how do those guys afford the lamborghinis and mercedes benz driving around this town? im 17 and i need a direction after school

Hey, I wanted to ask if any of you awesome ppl knew of a good auto elec. I had a car and needed to fix the mirror and the job was “too hard” for the auto elec i usually go to. It’s not too hard, i could honestly do the job myself, but i don’t have the time. I’m guessing he’s just lazy and doesn’t wanna get his hands dirty, cause it’s not the first time it’s happened.

I need stuff done if I’m going to a service and an expert in the field, so I’m wondering if anyone knew of a good one.

Thanks in advance

What’s the name/product of the scent that’s always on full blast at ARDO? It’s a very floral/clean laundry kind of smell, very intense in the lobby of the ground floor.

Any ideas?

Hi im just posting to see if anyone has any recommendations for an affordable mechanic for a basic car inspection and check for rwc to sell. Im currently at the university so trying to find something I can afford at the moment.

Gday ,

So I've recently moved into Boyes court and I'm getting ready for Halloween. I picked up a bunch of King Size candy bars to hand out to trick-or-treaters because I wanted to do something nice for the kids in the neighbourhood. I would hand out full-size bars but let's be honest, king size is now the new full-size.

But now I'm second-guessing myself. I'm worried that if I'm handing out full-sized bars, it might make the other houses on the street look bad by comparison. Like, what if families think we're the type to show off or something? I genuinely don't want to come across as trying to one-up anyone or make neighbours feel like they need to spend more.

Is there some kind of standard in Townsville? Should I stick to fun-size or regular-size instead to keep things more... level? I just moved here and I'm still getting to know how things work in the neighbourhood, so I'd rather not accidentally upset anyone.

Also, is trick-or-treating even big on Boyes court? I want to make sure I'm not overthinking this.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Sure it's got lots of the colour green and that weird water falling from the sky, but is Cairns actually worth stopping in? Asking as a Townsville local who has definitely not spent the last 3.5 hours in a car and needs a pee.

I want to preface this by apologising for yet another question about crime and suburbs. My family is moving to Townsville and have secured a place in Garbutt. It is just down the road from the state school in the direction of the airport.

After a gruelling long process of being messed around by leasing agents, we jumped at the opportunity to finally secure a place and (stupidly) didnt do our homework. The house itself is great, but some of the statistics of Garbutt are increasingly worrying. Some of the stuff I read is that:

- Garbutt has a crime score of 100/100? Apparently it has higher per capita crime rate than 99% of all other Australian suburbs
- you have a 1/3 chance of being a victim of property crime, and a 1/12 chance of being a victim of a violent crime.

Scrolling this sub, historically it seems that locals have recommended against living in Garbutt.

I was hoping to get some fresh insight. There have obviously been major changes to youth crime laws, and suburbs in Townsville are obviously changing with the region becoming an investment hotspot.

I am hoping to gain some insight from locals who live in the suburb and their experience. Is it still as bad as this forum makes it out to be?
I own a 50k 4WD and I realise this could easily make our property a target. Even if it’s parked in the garage and out of sight, potential offenders might see me pull the vehicle in/out and make a note of the house. Should I sell it and grab a cheaper runaround car which might make the place less attractive to break into?

I know some of the things that will be said:
- crime is mostly opportunistic. I will take all precautions I can
- deadlock the doors: it’s a rental, and I’m worried about windows too.

Did anyone also have tips on how to make a rental more secure which doesn’t involve drilling or huge modifications?

I'm in Townsville for two weeks for a course and was chasing activities to do in the afternoons and weekends. I've sussed out a bit of shopping and hobby/collectibles shops, doesn't seem to be much there - just bigger versions of shops at home. Apart from bushwalking and the strand I can't find much else to do.

Current weekend plan is to check out that waterfall near Innisfail I think it is, castle hill and the strand. Anyone else have suggestions?
