Storyboard Lookout is a quieter spot near the top of Castle Hill, with Townsville laid out below and the coastline stretching towards Cleveland Bay and Magnetic Island. You can pick out the CBD, Ross Creek and the port from up here, while the surrounding granite and dry bushland keep the view feeling distinctly North Queensland. It’s only a short detour from the summit road and well worth pausing for.
