Maritime Museum of Townsville

Maritime Museum: Shipwrecks, Navy History & The Rusty Yongala

Skip the main galleries and head straight for the SS Yongala exhibit to see salvaged relics from Australia’s most famous shipwreck. This place feels like a time capsule, packed with navy uniforms and old-school diving gear. Spend about an hour here before walking five minutes to the nearby park. It is niche, slightly dusty, and feels totally authentic. If you want a break from the harsh Queensland sun, the air-conditioned history lesson hits the spot.

Address: 42-68 Palmer St., South Townsville, Queensland, 4810
