Mae m Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hello everyone! I am moving with boyfriend and two year old daughter to Townsville and still haven't decided as to what suburb to live in. I have seen (online) and liked Railway Estate and found a nice unit close to the river. has any of you lived or been there and would you recommend this suburb? My main priority is safety and area not flooded when theres typhoon.Any feedback will be much appreciated! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notpicky Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hi Mae, Railway Estate not bad, close to city. Parts can be flood affected as can most of low lying areas in Townsville. Check out the Townsville City Council web site http://www.townsville.qld.gov.au for info re cyclones etc (not typhoons here). Most inner suburbs have "good" & "bad" parts but Railway Est & Sth Townsville good options. Where will you be working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To stay out of trouble you might want to read this and do some further investigations before you sell any homemade food. http://www.health.qld.gov.au/foodsafety/documents/fs-44-home-bus.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notpicky Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi Mar, I'm not a great fan of Annandale, access to the CBD in peak hour is busy but it's all relative as Townsville doesn't really have major traffic problems. From the suburbs you have mentioned Idalia would be my 1st choice then Rosslea, Douglas. There's good and bad pockets in all areas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceddy Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi, My friends live in Kirwin. I have visited several times and it's a nice area, they haven't had any problems, I am moving over in January ( my hubby there atm ) and have asked my him to look at Saunders beach and Bushland beach area, Pallaranda is also lovely.
